Diary Account (Production Log)

Wednesday 8th December 2010 

My first shot whilst filming was of the young girl on the sofa reading a magazine. I decided to film the first scene of the opening first because as it the beginning of my opening, it may have given me ideas about how i wan her positioned or just other ideas for the movie in general. I changed i made to the first scene was i added more light because it was a bit dark for the scene as well as the camera.

Also i added an extra move for the actor. I decided that she was going to walk in and sit down, and from there continue to read her magazine . whilst she was sitting down, with the camera, i slowly zoomed in till it reached her face, where when i edit it it be cut as it reaches her face.  Another part of my play that i filmed was the keys ((unknown object)).  The keys in my film is meant to signify the mystery  and thought of why it is being filmed, and how does it relate to the film. To achieve this feeling i decided to only get a shot of the keys once throughout the whole movie so then it it a question of why it was being shown. Also i zoomed in onto the keys a i did with the young girl to empathise the mystery around it.

''THE UNKNOWN''

For my final  filming I decided that i was going to go with idea 3. The reason for my choice was because there is a cliffhanger and also the audience were unaware of what was about to happen, which left suspense and had an enigma to the plot. However i made a few changes the to the actually idea. For the first i decided that be packing her bags instead of just sitting in the living room, or i thought that she could be reading a magazine or a book, so that it gives the scene a bit of understanding.

Another change to the idea was as the end all different items are dropping and as she come to something usual the phone rings making her shout. In the last scene you a random person in black going towards the key holder and it slowly fades out.
