Evaluation question 1

During the shooting of our Thriller Opening, we did encounter some problems; however we carried out the task with minimal difficulties and managed to get the task done. One problem which we could have potentially faced came with filming a scene in toilets, which meant we had to deal with presence of mirrors while filming. As a result of this our group had to take great care to avoid any accidental shots of the camera being used in the background of the scene. Another problem which could have occurred was the problem of access to the office we wanted to use in the detective's scene. However, we were able to secure the location for filming and the room we used proved ideal for the location of the detective’s office. In addition to this the lighting could have been a big problem. The bathroom we filmed in had very small westward-facing windows, and so we had to film specifically in the afternoon to avoid using the artificial light which we felt would have slightly ruined the feel we wished to give to the scene. On the other hand, the detective's office had very large windows and therefoer a lot of natural light shining in, which helped us make the detective's surroundings a lot brighter to make use of Todorov's binary oppositions.
