On the first day of filming we decided to shoot all the scenes that were going to be filmed in Adam’s house. We decided to meet up at Adam’s house at 11am with everybody who was need for the scenes. This was the three of us in the group and Adam’s girlfriend.
The first scene we decided to film was the scene where it is revealed that Alex has murdered Melissa. Also in this scene is Alex writing a letter to himself pretending that Melissa is writing it for him, this will be before you see that Melissa is actually dead. The use of the camera in this scene was worked very cleverly with us restricted the audiences view in order to not reveal the death of Melissa.
The second scene of the day that was filmed was the scene where Alex is lying around on his sofa in different positions in order to show time is passing. We decided to take a lot of these shots so when it came to the editing we could choose the most effective ones. When editing, we will also use a number of fades to show this time lapse. After we filmed this scene we decided to have a little break.
After we had a break we decided to film one of the letter scenes which was the one with Alex writing the letter. When filming this scene we yet again used a number of camera techniques to restrict the audiences view. This was the first scene where we needed to use of props with letters and screwed up pieces of paper that Alex throws which shows he is not writing it correctly.
The scene that we decided to film last was the other letter scene where Alex goes to post the letter to Melissa’s house. This was one of my scenes and I started the scene off with an ECU of Alex’s hand holding a letter saying “My one and only, Melissa” on it. The next part is Alex walking up to the house and posting the letter. After he posts the letter we filmed another time lapse scene from inside the house where you see all the letters come through the letter box with junk mail as well to make it more realistic. Every shot that was filmed for this part we put more and more letters down each time.
