Filming in Leeds

Our first filming in Leeds took place on the 18th October. We filmed the flat scene at around 5:00pm, so the entrance way would be fairly well lit, but still maintained a fairly moody, urban atmosphere. Our first shots we're filmed in the Flat lobby involving the two charcters crossing each other on the stairs, filmed from the perspective of each of them.

Repeated filming

We reshot the scenes in the flat due to a reconsideration in casting. Naomi will now be played by an older looking female, which will make the film more realistic.

First Filming

Our first filming session took place on 6th October at the Flat Interior, in Burley in Wharfedale. We used Chloe for the of Naomi, with me (Alex) and Dan playing the roles of Elliot and Zac, although as only our hands were visible, the actors were interchangable. In the scene we used a POV shot to follow the killer's view point around the room, culminating in him shooting Naomi.
In the next scene, which would taker place after a shot of Zac on the bus, we see the killer surveying the dead body, and confirming her identity with a photo. The final scene we filmed on the set involved Zac finding Naomi's body, before setting out for revenge.
We tryed to keep the set lit with non-natural light, to add to the oppressing feel of the scene.

Casting

Before we started to film we had a casting session, in which we considered possible actors for our four characters.
All of our characters are 18 years of age in the present day so we were predominently looking for people who passed for that age.

Location recce

After writing our screen play we decided to go on a recce to affirm the location choices. The following pictures detail where the scenes will take place:
