Filming- Monday 14th March

Today we filmed, and re-filmed, our final scenes of our film opening sequence!

Firstly we headed over to Alex's house to film both Teenage Elizabeth scenes.Our Friend (another) Alice kindly took part in the teen sleepover scene, so that I could be on filming duty! 

Both Alice's and Alex wore pyjama's for the sleepover scene: 





We tried many different camera angles for this flash back and eventually successfully focused on teen Elizabeth (Alice) whilst Alex and the Alice were out of focus in the background!
I think this scene was successfully shot and we were happy with the final outcome!


We then moved onto the second teen Elizabeth scene downstairs in Alex's house. We filmed by the window which had previously appeared in one of our young Elizabeth scenes. We thought having recurring scenery would help our flash backs link. We successfully captured teen Elizabeth (Alice) sat on the window sill showing emotion.

After completing all teen Elizabeth scenes, we headed back to Alice's garage to re-film the pregnant and the snatching baby scene, seeing as after capturing these on the school computers we realised they were not as effective as they could be. 

As Alice's Dad is away at work we decided Alex could step in as Fritzl, seeing as only her arms would be in frame and she has taken on the role in previous scenes. 
We first re-filmed the baby snatching scene. This time we decided that Elizabeth should be asleep whilst Josef Fritzl takes the baby from her. We positioned the camera on the floor to create an interesting angle. 

Secondly, we re-filmed the pregnant scene. This time Alice sat on the floor, this helped us to capture her tummy more and shows that she is pregnant more clearly than the previous shots we took. 


I feel very pleased to have all of the filming done! Now all we need to do is edit our shots and put the film opening sequence together!
