As lighting was an important aspect to consider during the filming - and will be during the editing - of my media product. I used dim lighting and lamps, and created shadows wherever possible in order to create a mysterious tone, as these are all elements common in real media products such as current Thrillers. Thrillers typically use dark lighting and shadows, and by using these in my media product I will be using conventions of real media products and making my product easily classified by the audience into the thriller genre.
For example I used dim lighting under a sheet in order to create a silhouette of William as he was under the bed, this shot emphasises the suggestion of William being watched, which is a suggestion I aim to demonstrate with the final opening sequence.
I had to start filming early and therefore the opening shots I took were in daylight, yet I aim to detract from this by using dark mise-en-scene.
Hi Harriet would love you to come and see me and discuss your filming and let me see footage. Also now needed on the blog are stills from shooting and textual analysis of those stills and an analysis of the filming process what changed from storyboard to film etc. See me for guidance
