Time: 10:40-12:10
Section filmed: Closet shots (added post storyboard construction)
Personnel: Evie (Producer), James (Producer) Chloe (Anna), Matthew (Director)
Props/costumes: T-shirt/trousers, Newspaper (NEW), Coat, shoes.
Equipment needed: Camera, Tripod, Chairs.
After we had shown the first draft of our Thriller opening to a few audiences AND to a professional (See Audience research part 1 & 2), it came about that in order to achieve everything that we had been advised upon.
What we needed to achieve in this extra filming was to get more facial appearance for Anna, to hint more at what the surprise reveal ending was going to be, to show some form of hesitation/thinking/processing on Anna's part before she was to go out, and to fill in the continuity error which had been created when we had to remove the Bathroom sequence.
I came up with an idea, using the Closet shown above, in which Anna could go into a room in order to retrieve her coat and shoes because most people (even Sociopaths and Serial Killers) don't tend to leave their outdoor clothing in their bedrooms. Whilst she is doing so, she could be seen to pick up a newspaper (hinting at a new story, such as murder), look at it for a few moments whilst thinking over what it says (thinking/processing time) and then discard the front cover (the headline) to show that she has thought about it and has made a decision. Of course, I also tried to feature her face in it from time to time so that we could get more facial appearance for her.
