Reflection of shots

After Shoot 1:

Our first time at filming went really well as we got most of the shots we needed, plus we took a few takes of each shot and chose the best take. After finishing our first filming session it has become apparent that the filming location was the right place to film. Due to there being the requirements to film the shots we needed. However, we will need to re-film a few shots due to lighting and finish off filming the rest of the opening. Additionally, the costumes were successful as they made the characters easy to identify.

After shoot 2:

Filing was successful again as we captured all of the new shots we needed and re-shot the ones with the lighting problems. We kept the location and costumes the same to make sure we didn't break the continuity of the sequence. However after editing our footage we soon found out that our genre wasn't clear to the audience. Thus we decided to adapt our idea to better suit a horror film.

After shoot 3:

Filming wet well as we managed to get all the filming done for the new story in 1 filming session. While still achieving high quality takes for each shot we took. The costumes and location were kept the same as they worked affectively last time. However, we removed a character and Sam just played the role of the killer.

Mica, who is working with me in our group has created a website to help promote The Intruder. Thus building the anticipation of the release of this film.

First Draft Sequence



After completing the production of our first draft we decided to adapt our storyline as our horror genre was not clear. It also seems to laid back for a horror and the tension doesn't build at all. So we decided to change the story and re-film, however we could have just changed a few parts of the draft, although we decided on changing the whole story to be able to try to build tension from the very start.

Construction post 3 - Titles




After receiving feedback from our film, we decided to change our font for the titles from the first font to the second. This was due to the criticism stating that our font was suited for a monster horror rather than a slasher/ house invader horror, which is what sub genre is. Therefore, we decided on a more simple bold text which has the same qualities as many other fonts used in house invader films.

Construction post 2 - Location

At first we decided on filming at Mica's house, however we decided otherwise and we chose to film at Sam's house. The reason for doing so was because Sam's house allowed us to shot different kinds of interesting shots, such as the tracking shot following the male up the stairs. Showing the killers presence in the bedroom. In the shot where the killer is present we used low key lighting to just about show the outline of the killer, adding to the mystery and tension of the killer being inside the house of the two teenagers.

Sam's house is situated close to our school so it also adds to the practicality of filming in his house, as we will be able to get there in a short period of time thus increasing the time we get to film. Allowing us to fully focus on the film and getting the best shots we can.
