Second day of filming

On Thursday after school we got permission to film in the old dark room. We went to set up the dark room by pinning up photos of the stalkers victims with notes written about them including their name, age and any other information such as their hair and eye colour.
Sarah's dad then arrived at school so we started to film.
Our first shot was with all of the lights off and Sarah's dad opening the door of the dark room and switching on the red lights. We positioned the camera in such a way that you could see the door and the red light bulb which was outside the door which turned on when he switched on the lights inside. I think this was an effective shot as you could just see his shadow in the doorway and the door made a creeking noise which will add to the atmosphere of our film.
For our next shot we did the same thing but we moved our camera to inside the dark room so we had it from a different perspective.
We then put the camera to one side of the room and had Sarah's dad standing by the developing baths with his back to the camera. The shot started off by focussing on one of his past victims photos which was pinned to the walls and then when Sarah's dad dropped something on the floor it made a loud crash and the camera made a quick pan around to him which I think added tension. He then picked up the item that he dropped, turned back to the developing bath and dropped a photo of Charlotte in there as if to develop it. He then took it out of the bath and clipped it up to the line which already had photos of me and Molly clipped up.
Finally we filmed the last bit for the dark room which was for the very end of our clip. This was when Sarah's dad replaced the original photo of Charlotte for one of her gagged and tied to a chair, which showed he had caught her. He then pinned up a photo of Sarah next to that to indicate that she is his next victim.
As Sarah's dad walks away from the line the camera zooms in and pans across all of our group's photos which we had attached our names to, which will be our credits. As the light in the dark room was very dim we held a phone light up to the photos from behind the camera to make it a bit lighter but still have quite a scary effect.
I really enjoyed filming this part and hope it turns out good when we come to edit. The only problem with the dark room was that is a very small room with lots of equipment so it was hard to have all of the group in there at the same time giving directions when we were actually filming because we had to be in certain positions so that you could not see our shadows.
