During Thursday’s Media lesson, we conducted further tests, involving lighting, camera, and costume and makeup.
We test shot all the scenes that took place in Izabella’s hideout (the dark room). We shot the dialogue between Izabella and Cassie using conventional techniques, and we tried our very best to adhere to the 180 degree rule. We also decided that we would, on the days of the actual shooting, film point of view shots (from the p.o.v. of both Izabella and Cassie), and also a low angle shot on Izabella (to reinforce the idea of her being a dominant, strong, forceful woman further). Also, we shot Izabella’s monologue handheld, whereby we would be following Izabella circling Cassie as she is sat on the chair, terrified. The decision to shoot this segment of the opening handheld mainly has to do with our desire to give this scene a real life, documentary style look. We were inspired not only by real life hostage videos, but also of a scene in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight,” which can be found in the link below:
This shooting style will, we believe, add to the terrifying nature of both the film and the situation that Cassie finds herself in.
In addition to this, we also incorporated Darine’s chosen costume and makeup in to the filming of the test. Darine’s chosen costume and makeup, we all feel, is exactly what we had in mind whilst coming up with the character of Izabella, and it makes her character feel much more real and convincing and, more importantly, much more terrifying.
