Casting

Our original Cast List differs slightly from the final one as we did not recieve consent forms from all of the participants. For the filming on the 29th of January Louise Chick, Matthew Bonner and Keegan Featherstone took part, Louise playing the female protagonist, with Matt and Keegan as the stalkers in the flashes. On the 4th, Louise and Matt filmed at the other locations, where we used Matt as the stalker in more of the footage than just flashes. We filmed some over the shoulder shots so that both stalker and protagonist are in the shot at once for longer periods of time.

Shot List

This is the original shot list, written before filming. We kept to it, but also added sopme extra footage and varied shots due to the ground, weather and lighting conditions at some of the locations on the day of filming.

Filming

We began filming on Friday 29th of January, where we filmed in the woods, house and some of Court Road, but because of the time it took, the lighting became to poor and we had to postpone the majority of the Court Road footage until yesterday (4th February. We also filmed our close ups (key in the door, feet walking) and the garage scenes, as well as the second attempt at filming Court Road, which worked a lot better and was more effective this time.
We cast Louise Chick as the main character, wearing a white coat to symbolise inncoence, and also to make sure that she stands out well from the surroundings. Matthew Bonnert and Keegan Featherstone were out antagonists, standing in various corners and following Louise for short clips that will be used for the flashes of film.
We are just beginning to edit the footage we have, but need to film several flashes which can be placed in afterwards. So far we have around 15 seconds of footage, and the credits have been rehearsed, but we have yet to shorten them enough to be suitable for the film.
