For the re-shoot of our thriller, we initially were going to film on our inset day as this meant that we would be able to spend more time filming than our first session, as we would have more hours of light. In order to do this Christian found out that Erin (the actress), was allowed time off in school hours in order to participate in media projects. However, we then discovered that this time period had expired, to rectify this mistake we rescheduled to film on the 13th after school. Due to the limited amount of daylight time this offered us, we chose to re-shoot in Christian back garden which was of a substantial size and had a small wooded area.
Once at the location, Matthew recorder 2 minuets of ambient sound whilst the actor was getting into costume and having her make-up done. After receiving feedback from our first draft, we made the make-up around her eyes darker in order to signify the connotation that the character is dead and make her look more haunting.
When shooting the new shots of the character we ensured that she was doing different things than those previously shot, for instance we had her sitting on a bench and also on a swing. During filming we came across some difficulties, in that from certain angles fences, houses and grass were visible. This was a problem as the shots couldn't then be used in our thriller as the location wouldn't have appeared in keeping with the sequence of shots we already had. We overcame, this and went on to shoot a large variety of shots such as; high angle, close ups and extremes closeups. Within these shots we aimed to create narrative enigma and build tension through the unknown.
