TRIPOD When filming the preliminary task we did not use a tripod, instead we held the camera which coursed our footage to be shaky. For our opening sequence we did not use the tripod for some parts, in order to show a point of view of a character. To get a tracking shot of the feet, in the running scene, we put the camera on the tripod and held it upside down, then ran away alongside the actress. We did this to achieve different camera angles for our opening sequence, whereas in the preliminary task we only used two types of camera angles. The use of the different camera angles enabled us to establish the genre, as horror; we used a lot of point of views, as it matched our storyline, of a girl spy someone and in order to express fear. The point of view shots we used also added tension, to our opening sequence. AUTO OR MANUAL FOCUS We used an auto focus camera to film the preliminary task and our opening sequence.

TRIPOD When filming the preliminary task we did not use a tripod, instead we held the camera which coursed our footage to be shaky. For our opening sequence we did not use the tripod for some parts, in order to show a point of view of a character.
To get a tracking shot of the feet, in the running scene, we put the camera on the tripod and held it upside down, then ran away alongside the actress. We did this to achieve different camera angles for our opening sequence, whereas in the preliminary task we only used two types of camera angles. The use of the different camera angles enabled us to establish the genre, as horror; we used a lot of point of views, as it matched our storyline, of a girl spy someone and in order to express fear. The point of view shots we used also added tension, to our opening sequence.
AUTO OR MANUAL FOCUS
We used an auto focus camera to film the preliminary task and our opening sequence. When we filmed the scene, where Celaine was on the bed, the camera kept changing its focus when we weren’t aiming that. However when it came to editing, we realised that the focusing issue we had actually worked well with our opening sequence. So we kept it, and used it as a point of view from Abbie, this also showed that Abbie was half asleep. The focus wasn’t brilliant in our preliminary, as the two characters looked ghosts and you cannot see their faces very well. The weird focus didn’t work for the preliminary task video, whereas it did for the opening sequence, so we kept it as it was relevant. It was relevant for the preliminary task but we still kept it.
LIGHTING The speaking part in the preliminary task was very poor lighted. We chose to place the two characters next to the window, which made them look dark. Parts of our opening sequence we used the natural light. On the first day of filming our opening sequence the sky was red, which was very lucky as we were filming the part of the antagonist. The red sky enabled us to establish characterisation of the antagonist and the genre as horror. We wanted our opening sequence to dark as it is horror, and also wanted to create shadows, so we used the flashlights from our phones.
