Filming

We filmed our video clips on Sunday 3rd March, where on Saturday the 2nd March we spent the day preparing props and costumes, and watching films for inspiration. We drove up to the location in the middle of no-where in North Yorkshire, and spent a lot of time moving furniture around to create our setting, and covering up mis-en-scene that wasn't necessary, as well as changing into costume and doing make-up. We explored the area and decided which parts of the location were best for filming. We then filmed the opening object scenes which we thought we needed for the credits, and then moved onto filming outside shots, followed by all the inside shots. In some cases it took several attempts to get the right shots, but we got a variety. 
We ended up doing a few things differently to our shot list, such as not including the 'blood dripping' scenes as we felt no need for them and found them difficult to film. We also didn't make use of all the rooms, only one room with stairs up to a balcony, as we thought this only had the appropriate lighting and mis-en-scene for our opening. We all varied in roles, with directing and filming and acting, and overall we enjoyed it.





We planned to use this room, but decided it was too cluttered and didn't fit the genre conventions:
