On Tuesday of this week, my group and I filmed a scene of Aaron being taken into custody by Detective Gibbs. we filmed this next to the school lift in the mansion and we felt it suited this type of scene because there was a narrow pathway and the camera was able to be in a position where it could really capture the emotion of the characters in a small space and the action takes up all of the camera frame. Although the shot is a few seconds long, this part of the trailer is leading up to more of the intriguing aspects of the film as Aaron in the next scene is pinned down into telling the truth and all suspicions flail onto him.
Our group also consider this shot to be a turning point in the film because questions begin to rise and suspicions begin to rise as all the fingers are pointing at Aaron as the killer. In the few seconds we see, this raises potential ideas without spoiling the film. This technique is used to make the audience wonder and want to learn about what is going to happen next by watching the film.
The location of the film is Claremont Fan Court School in Esher. The interior where we filmed looked very much like prison because the radiator and the lift shutter looks very much like prison bars and this looked very convincing. We also felt that this area was very eerie and vacant as there was no disturbances during filming and just by the visuals of this area, we felt it really set the tone for a uneasy atmosphere. Whilst filming this scene, we wanted the atmosphere to be consistently uneasy and full of suspense full of mise-en-scene and synergy. We also wanted to convey a haunting and empty fell with the characters emotions feeding off that vibe.
