Bedroom filming.

We all met up at 5.30pm today at our house location where we shot our last pieces of filming. Fitting 6 people into a small room with bed and trying to keep quiet while filming was hard.
We had a problem with costume, as we only had one pair of tights which we ripped last time, so our actress Ellie wore them backwards.
We casted a male actor, Jake Frost, an AS Drama student, he was chosen for his size and build, as we needed someone to look dominating and slightly scary.
We filmed an extra 3 mins of clips to edit together with the other clips from last saturday in tuesdays lesson.

Below is what happened, taken from Catherine White's Blog (http://catherinethriller.blogspot.com/)

(Before the rest of the cast/crew actually got to my house and it was only me, Elle (main actress) and Sarah and so we decided to do the first scene on our own. This was the scene of Ellie actually gagging in the sink and then taking a swig of her wine.
The rest of the crew/cast then turned up and we got on with the rest of the filming that we needed to do. We started with a shot of Ellie's feet and her holding her bottle of wine across the edge of the bed and then Jake's (our actor) feet moving in closer to Ellie's feet. We had to do this a couple of times to make absolutely sure that we had the right walk and got the right amount of footwork in the scene.
The next shot was going to be the one in which Ellie gets pushed onto the bed in a harsh way and then starts to scramble away as if she knows what is going to happen to her. This again took a few shots because most of the pushes weren't hard enough and we really needed to get the perfect shot.
The third shot was the one in which the rapist gets on top of the victim, Jake didn't really grasp how he had to do it properly the first time, but after a few shots we got what we needed.
Jake then needed to pull Ellie back to him and smother her with a pillow to get the effect of him trying to 'shut her up' this again took a few shots because we wanted it to be as harsh as possible to give a nasty effect. In the end we got it exactly how we wanted it, Ellie really struggling and Jake putting in a lot of force.
We then needed a shot of Ellie's tights being ripped because we had already shot her walking home in the morning and her tights are ripped all over, meaning there needed to be a reason for it. The tights were quite hard to rip and I had to do it with a key in the first place, so it made a bit difficult for Jake to rip them, but in the end we got there.
We then needed Ellie to take her tights off because we realised that rape wouldn't be able to occur if tights were on. So she took them off and Sarah hung them on a nearby stand to ensure that they were still seen by the audience in the next shot.
This shot was of Ellie then just lying on the bed, distraught and alone, whilst then panning towards Jake doing his trousers up and walking off scene. This only needed one shot as everyone said my pan was okay.
We then wanted a shot of Jake walking out of the door from one angle, behind him, and then another angle from Ellie's point of view lying on the bed, shot by Sarah.
