Possession (2008)

This is the Possession (2008)

We feel that this is a very effective piece in regards to the use of the flames, and was part of the inspiration to us placing flashes in our own production. We feel that it helps to create an uneasiness and builds up the tension in an effective way, and also helps to create an unnerving feeling.

We plan on adding them at irregular intervals of the scenes we filmed as part of the additional 'shed scene' filming to help give a background of the film and to create tension and a mystery for the audience.

Re-Filming

After our additional filming, we tried to upload it on the computers but was stopped as all the files started deleting.
This was because we had a corrupted memory card, and lost all our work.
Today, we re filmed it all and changed it slightly to what was available and improvements o our last filming.
We decided to eliminate the smearing lipstick scene as we do not think it adds to the opening two minutes, and would be better placed in a later section of the film, if included at all.

Additional Filming

After the initial editing process, we realised that there was more filming needed in order to complete the storyline. From here we created additional storyboards and arranged to film on a separate day i order to fit it in the film on time. We created a storyboard which wasn't necessarily in order of the final product, but had all our ideas on as we couldn't decide the order of our shots, and thought it best to decide this in the editing process itself to see how it fit and the best order based on this. Through our initial experience of filming our final product, we understand the synopsis of our film and the type of filming necessary to fit in with the rest of it, for this reason we can ensure that it is film to best join the current film and to finish the storyline for the opening 2 minutes, which aims to introduce the film. 

Location Research - Additional Filming

For our additional filming we wanted to shoot in a old, dirty-looking, abandoned shed.
On researching locations, we found the shed that we will film our additional filming.
It is secluded with plants growing around it, which helps add to the feeling that the antagonist does not want it to be seen.
It also has a workbench area which we plan on using as a work station, revealing the dark and true nature of the male character.
It also has a dark, eeriness feeling to it and seems quite foreboding to the audience.
