Practical Log: Day 4 of filming 'Unknown'

During our fourth filming session, we decided to film during the evening as this would ultimately give us the kind of lighting we want in our film. Then if we needed to brighten up any shots we could use artificial light to generate what shots we want for our film. We then managed to re-film every shot that previously contained daylight and we thought this has really helped bring a sense of horror to our footage.
As well as this helping with the indoor shots, it gave us the oppurtunity to redo the filming for the conversation between Cara and the pizza delivery man so that it can be set during the evening. However, one problem that we encountered during our session was that the weather wasnt very ideal and the wind was a slight problem. To solve this problem, we attempted to find areas outside where wind couldnt travel to to intefere with the sound on the footage. we decided to take extra shots in the back garden through the window and this gave us the perfect oppurtunity to use shadows to build suspense and tension.
Also, as we know that we have to create a poster design for our film, we decided to do a small photo shoot in which we used darkness and a small amout of coloured lighting shining on the protagonists face. We used white, red and yellow lighting and we tried to incorporate a lot of shade and shadows.
Overall filming 'Unknown' has been very successful and we managed to respond well to any challenges that we were faced with while filming.
