We only had a short amount of time to come up with an idea for a 1 minute film. We had a few rough ideas, one required a pigeon suit which we couldn't get hold of so we decided to create a film of a stabbing in a graveyard. We filmed this from a low angle showing only the feet to hide the identity of the killer, only the victim (played by me) is seen as he falls to the ground with his wound. I had some fake blood on my hand which I put on my stomach to create the look of the wound, which worked really well. We had to rush this as we had a small amount of battery left in the camera so its shorter than we hoped. If we spend more time re-making this we could put markers on the ground so the actors know where to stand, I think it would also be good if the victim falls closer to the camera so he is in close up. I really enjoyed the short session we had of filming, can't wait to do more!
We couldn't get the video off the SD Card onto the computer and the card got wiped! It's a bit annoying but least we now know how to do it, so we won't make that mistake again.
