Filming: Part One

    Yesterday, Maria, Isabel and I finally united to film the opening scenes of the film opening, We went to Maria's house to film the video, and we decided to use everyday objects such as black-and-white pictures, yarn, tape, and crayons to create this mysterious and creepy headquarters. We only filmed the scenes involving Carlos' stalker, so we dimmed the lights and brought out the black clothes. We created this office setting where the stalker has pictures of our main character Carlos on the computer screen, along with computer codes (to show how they are stalking and hacking his technological systems), and lastly notes showing that he is stalking him.
        The dim lighting contributes to the mysterious tone of the film opening as you cannot see the stalker's face. One shot will show the stalker putting on a hoodie and gloves, which conveys the message that they do not want to be known. We established another setting in the garage, where we turned on one lamp and had the stalker clean a sharp gardening tool, cut a gardening sheet aggressively, and lastly draw a circle and an x on Carlos' face. This shows the audience that the stalker is not fond of Carlos and eventually wants to hurt him physically. We wanted to film the same scene with several different shots and angles. Below, you can see we filmed a scene,which should be more of a wide shot, with a bird's eye view which may create a different dimension to our film opening. Soon, we will be filming the other parts that include Carlos, which will be him panting, running away from someone (who will be his stalker) and lastly hiding in corners and stairwells.
