In my group for the shoot were Nina, Sophia, Courtney along with myself, and this group will remain the same for our thriller shoots later in the year.
For our preliminary task, we had to shoot a short conversation/argument between 2 people. As we had impressed Matt with our practice shoot a few days earlier, we were allowed to shoot in the studio, which allowed us to get low key lighting, creating a spooky effect. Because we had practiced different ways of shooting the scene, we knew pretty much the order in which we would shoot our various angles.
First we began with 2 complete run-throughs in wide, then progressed to over the shoulder on both myself and Sophia. After that we proceeded to do the close-ups of us both and tried not to laugh as we did it. The close-ups in particular required 5 or 6 attempts because in one of them I stood in front of the camera, and i others we either laughed at each other or moved outside the shot.
Once these essential shots were done, we had a go at putting some extra shots in such as an extreme close up of a phone, and the wide shot of me slamming the door open.
On a whole, I think we did quite well on this task, and when we began editing, it looked darker on the computer, giving that ominous look.
Here is the finished clip
