Construction: How the filming went

As we filmed our opening to our film, we, as a group, found that our storyboard plan and the sets/props we needed to create our idea were simply out of reach. Therefore improvisation became an important but beneficial factor on the day of shooting. We changed the shot of one long establishing shot of the road and the car pulling in the driveway, to a much more simple way of filming the scene (yet keeping the same idea) with the majority of the opening being clips of disturbing imagery and inside the killers' house. We also changed the victims car driving in with an extreme close up shot of a smoky window panning downwards to reveal the car already parked. Therefore making this more of a surprise to the audience, creating suspense.

     We kept our plan of action to go with the idea of two completely different contrasting moods. Though the creepy dark atmosphere was more of an element within the actual filming, while the bright and positive mood became clearer within the editing of our film.
