Second Day of Filming

On the second day of filming we shot exterior shots on a playing field and a childrens park. This was representative of the character regressing to her childhood memories.
We started with a long panning shot, starting on some skeletal trees and ending on Sophie, looking creepy. One problem we encountered was getting the pan smooth as the start of the shot usually jumped as the camera started moving. However, this can be fixed during the editing process. We attempted this shot three times until we were happy with the results.
The next shot we filmed was Sophie walking backwards, as though she is possessed. This is inspired by 'The Exorcist'. We feel this could be a succesful reference as it is one of the most succesful horror films of all time.
The next shot we filmed was an empty swing in a childs playpark. We filmed this shot from a high angle. This is effective as the angle would give the audience a sense of comfort and security, feeling they have dominance over the shot. However the swing still swings right at the camera which would shock the audience and hopefully break their comfort zone.
After this we filmed Sophie on the swing. I feel this is an effective shot as it once again shows how Sophie is trying to regress to childhood memories, and this in turn infers that their is something wrong with her current life. This would intrigue the viewer and hopefully make them feel uneasy, as they know that something is wrong but dont know what.
