Sound and Shot Tests

This is the first shot that will be seen in the video, we think that this will be the easiest shot to film and should take the least amount of time. However because the person filming has to walk along with the character two pairs of footsteps can be heard. This means that we will have to edit the video and add the footsteps in at a later stage. This is the only shot that will be filmed in this location.

This is the Sound and Lighting test for the dark room entry, however this room was not the exact room we hope to use for filming therefore the shade of lighting and possible sound may differ, however prior to filming we will check the availability of the room in order to achieve the most out of our time in the room. However we believe that the difference is slim between rooms as we took the necessary measure such as using the same time of day (for the test shots) in order to make sure that the actual film will be as similar as possible. Despite this, the sound of the door opening was evidently picked up by the camera, and also sounded as if it was amplified due to the silence of the room. Also the lighting was not ideal as this room offered more in terms of brightness and this prevented us from achieving a tense tone in and amongst the room, therefore this further adds to the reason for ensuring that the particular room we want is available upon recording.

Whilst filming the test shots for the park, we needed to consider; the current weather conditions, future weather conditions. These aspects will prove vital ,as during this clip we see that the weather is slightly overcast, we then decided that this is the ideal weather conditions, as it will reflect and create a tense and dramatic tone due to its dull and eerie atmosphere. However during this clip there is limited background sound, this was because we identified popular times of the day and the effect that this would have on the sound, evidently it was clear that by filming later on in the afternoon, not only would there be a darker tone of weather but also the background sound would be significantly reduced due to the few amount of people around at the time. Also because of the time of day no people will be evident amongst the background, this is important because should there be people present this will take away from the dramatic and mysterious affect we are trying to create.
