Production blog; finishing filming

Last week was spring break so we decided it was a good time to finish filming our last scenes. It was easy since we had no school and our schedules were more open than usual. We had a few scenes to film at the resurant Paige works at. When it was dark we starting filming since we needed it to be night time for our scenes. We started off with the indoor scenes first, Ella was sitting at a booth. We picked a section that was the most empty to not disturb the customers. Ella was texting her date that she was waiting at the restuant for. We had to zoom in on her phone and have different angles of her texting her date. We made sure to re-shoot this scene a few times to have it right. Next we had to wait for no customers to be at the front so we could do the scene of the girls walking up to the hostess. We got permission from the host to use her in our film as-well. Then we went outside to the alley to finish off our scenes. It was late so we made sure to have one of Paige's co-workers watching over us to make sure we were safe since we would be focused on filming. We had to use lights while filming outside since it was so dark. These scenes were kind of hard to stay serious while filming. We were laughing quite a bit and just fooling around. But we made sure to film our scenes correctly once we were done fooling around a bit. We had our walkie talkie on the ground for the scene then the fake blood on the dumpster. Even though we got side tracked at times we managed to film these scenes in around 30 minutes. I'm ready to edit and watch all the scenes be put together and see the final outcome soon.

A two-shot of the mother and daughter are showing her struggling to breath and the mom trying to help. Over the shoulder shot is then shown looking at the daughter while the mother is talking to her. She is nodding her head no since she can't speak back. Her mom is saying she will be back. The dialogue and non diegetic sound of the creepy music intrigued the audience and made the film more suspenseful. A tracking shot caught the women falling down the stairs and falling. A dark figure was shown in a costume to be the demon of the film. This caused a element of terror. Birds eye angle was shown when the demon was following the Mom to make her look vulnerable. The setting was very dark to make the film even more intense. Lights started to flash when the demons came out and this was showing zoom ins and outs. A close up of the demon was shown and then disappeared to make the audien...
