Bedroom 2 shot

(53 secs)

We filmed this all in one shot as we wanted to show how Georgia magically appeared on the bed. In this shot, Georgia is supposed to be a ghost like character so that only the audience can see her. We had difficulties with this shot as we could see the bed moving as Georgia got on it. The shot was supposed to pan from an empty bed onto our actor and then back to the bed, to where Georgia would have magically appeared, but as it was visible to see when she got on the bed. We had to break up the supposed to be one continuous shot with a side on close up of the actor and then a big close up of his computer screen with her message to him. The whole sequence filmed in this room however, was all done in one take.

To show that this shot is narrative we added the black and white effect to it. Other than that we didn't edit it except for adding the close ups as mentioned before. As we had many quick cuts we wanted to try having one long cut and see how it fit. We thought it worked well because it illustrated what we wanted it to, Georgia's random appearance on the bed.

The only lighting we used here was window light as it felt most natural and the two actors were positioned in the right place for the light to emphasise them yet not too light that the image is lost to the light.
