Filming: Day 5

On the fifth day of filming, my schedule was to film a scene outside of my local police station. However, I didn't have enough time to do this and after revising whether this clip would be worth including in my trailer, I scrapped it. This is due to the fact it didn't have much of a relevance in my trailer other than an idea that might have over-confused my audience and it was more of a way of establishing the trailers genre, so I decided to use more clever and thought-provoking clips that I had written down, which was the instructions being posted, the numbers of the instructions being panned over and my antagonist twisting around his wedding ring. These were all filmed inside my house.

The first shot I did was the instructions being posted. This clip was a difficult one as the letter had to land on the side with instructions written on it so people knew what it was. I wanted quite a long shot, just to get the setting of the house in to make it look more realistic. This shot aids the narrative of my trailer so it needed to be included.

Secondly, I filmed the numbers of the instructions being panned over. I had a good idea that I could overlay them while other clips were being played, so that it increased the suspense of my trailer and made it look more professional. I specifically needed 17 instructions, as the films title relates to the number of the instructions and a scene to do with the antagonist.

Finally, I filmed the scene of the antagonist twisting the ring around his finger. This scene needed to be filmed in quite a dark space so that the antagonist would be shown as little as possible and it also matches the atmosphere of the trailer. I decided to change this scene to him tapping his fingers with the ring in shot instead, as this gave the audience the impression that the antagonist is impatient. The wedding ring is key to the narrative, so this shot had to be included as it might have been something the audience overlook, which makes it more of a surprise when the mystery of the trailer is answered.
