Second Shooting - April

Due to all of our busy schedules we decided that we would film the shadow scene at Chloe's house instead, and in fact it was a better location as we had a blank wall to project the shadows onto. It did take a while to get the lights positioned exactly so we could have the characters producing the shadows onto the wall without having them seen by the camera. We used a number of lamps to bounce the light off the wall which gave us the right effect. Chloe and her brother played the mother and father, we got her brother's shadow to appear more dominant by having him closer and Chloe further away. This showed the contrast between his dominant superior character and Chloe's character who was being abused. In this scene we chose to use a baseball bat to create lot's of brutality and to show the severity of the attacks to the audience. Even if the filming did take a few hours we were eventually happy with all the shots we had got and knew we could edit them to make them look really good.
