Filming the prelim turned out to be harder than we all expected. We had to film the same shots a number of times because we would forget minor details which could ruin the illusion, for example, in some shots we had, the light was dimmer than other shots. We also had to make sure that the subjects were in the frame, so we would have to do the scene without filming then redo and film it again.
Our facial expressions also had to show what the scene was trying to portray, we had to stay focused on being mysterious and tense so the audience would be able to see that this was a thriller. It was hard because we would get into character and then snap out of it as it had to be so serious.
As we had a brief that we needed a match cut and shot reverse shot, we incorporated that well as a match cut can reveal an object or certain thing that would give the scene more tension. The shot reverse shot was shown through a conversation.
We used a small room outside of our class, but we didn't realise how small and dark the room as when we turned of the lights, we had trouble figuring out where we would place the camera without breaking the 180 degree rule. We also had trouble because of the lighting, on the camera screen, it was just enough light to be able to see our faces, but on a bigger screen the lighting was bad, so we got a Dedo light which resolved the problem.
