Shooting our thriller

On the day of our thriller, we had a quick brain storm session which ended up changing our whole idea. We are still incorporating the whole 'Facespace' idea however, there's more to the opening sequence now. We now have our actress talking into the camera as if it was a web cam. After a couple of normal posts about her life, we started to include little hints about the 'stalker'. Such as his 'website' called Artbox. This story line still sticks to the 'dangers of social networks' theme but just makes it more accessible to the viewers.

When filming the 'Killer', we decided to never show the whole figure, to keep him mysterious. As director, i decided to have extreme closeups and close ups of the mans hands on the keyboard and mouse creating a awkward, creepy feel. I also came up with many other shots such a a close up on his jaw and chin. I then dropped water down his head, creating a 'sweating' effect, which fits in perfectly with his 'image'.

Throughout the shoot we focused a lot on lighting. Lighting gives key hints and moulds the characters behaviour. Because of Angel 3323 being a sweet, pretty girl, we decided to use bright like, making her face and features vivid and welcoming to the audience. When doing the killer, we used the same blue tinted light, but decided to place it so it comes to the side of him (it was placed infront of angel 3323). This angle creates shadows and makes the killer seem mysterious. This was also created by the fact that we never showed the audience his face.
