Filming

We filmed the majority of our film on one day, as we planned to do the night time shots separately. However because of the difficulty of filming at night, we ended up coming back another day when it was light and finished the filming. This ensured all our shots looked like they were filmed at the same time, which therefore helped achieve continuity editing. During the filming our script changed due to better ideas or because our original ideas only worked on paper and were not practical to film.

We originally planned to have a shot of a newspaper article that explained o the audience there was a killer at large, as well as help to increase tension. Yet, creating a good looking and believable article was harder than we thought. We did, however, come up with an idea we thought was better, which involved showing a news report on television about the killer. We achieved this by filming a news report on a separate camera and then playing the clip through the TV. We then played the clip when filming with the college camera, so it looked like a real news show on the TV. We were very happy with the outcome.

Originally we had also planned to have a final shot where you see the victim of the killer, who has been mutilated and bloody. We planned to do this by using dried PVA glue on flesh to look like dried and peeled skin. But after an attempt, we decided it did not look as effective as we imagined. So to solve this we decided not to show a great deal of the victim, and leave more to the viewers imagination.
