Filming

Well during half term me and Jonny started filming for Pursuer. This was the ideal time to start as we were able to use both our actors and location at a time that would suit us instead of rushing to get there or not being able to film due to it getting too dark. We started off by taking footage of Paul (Charlie) walking through the gates of a school close by to my house in Cobham, the main reason for this was the fact we did not have enough time in the opening scenes to get from our school (Therfield)to my house which is where the indoor bit is filmed. We then filmed Paul walking towards a large iron bridge. At this point we introduce another character, 'The UNKNOWN'. The identity of this character is hidden throughout the begining of the opening. As we go over the iron bridge we see that Paul is being follwed. We used a variety of shots during these scenes, this is to create the right effect and for our viewers. As Paul walks over the bridge on the other side of the road it fades out and goes into him walking up his driveway, the camera switched to inside the house to see Paul open the door from inside and then he puts his bag down and goes to start his homework on the computer. When he suddenly becomes scared about something. This is becasue as he opens the computer a window opens and it says "I'm watching you!", at this point Paul says the only bit of dialogue, "What the hell!?". He stands up and the chair behind him falls back n the floor. He then goes to reach for the telephone and he dials in 999. THe operator answers and Paul then says "Police please!". After he says this we see him look outside the window and standing there in the garden is 'The UNKNOWN' playing with a large knife. In this last few scenes we used many shots such as Pan, Zoom, Close up, Extreme close up and Tilt shots. This is also to create the right effect we want and to create more of an immersive viewing experience for the end viewer.
