Filming diary 3

filming diary 

on 14/12/13 we went to film the final part of our film at 10:30 in the morning till 2:00 in the afternoon and it all went well. before we went to go film the victim (Ashley)  Ashley came round my house to put on the make up at 10:00 it didn't take long, what i did was i used gelatin (soaked it in water for 2 mins then heated it up in the microwave for 10 secs till a gloppy liquid) and applied it to the side of his face that had hit the ground. the good thing about gelatin is that it drys quickly so you don't have to wait a long time for it to set. after the gelatin had set i added face paint to the gelatin. first i added red paint to show blood then i added black to make the face look dirty then i added slightly purple paint to show bruises the end look looked great and realistic. a problem we faced whilst filming is that we had to recreate the background (the crime scene) as we filmed over two different days with more than two weeks difference, the main thing we had to re make in the scene was the police tape and Sam forgot the tape to hold the police tape up so we had to improvise and use a branch which had snapped off a tree and the wind kept pushing the branch down so in the end we had to use a bike to keep the police tape up. at 4:00 we went to the town bridge to film the flash back scene and because we had to show the victim hanging off the bridge i had to hold Ashley up so that he wouldn't fall. it got darker quicker than i thought and we had to stop filming but luckily we think we took enough shots and especially got the important shots done.
