Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

As a group we created a schedule which would guide us on what time we would film each scene. This helped the group remain organised and film the opening sequence as efficiently as possible. The time we film each scene is significant as we had to coonsider numerous factors such as the natural lighting. We decided that we would begin filming at 4:00 as the natural lighting would be dark enough to create a eery atmosphere and enigma within the audience but light enough for the characters, setting and iconography to be seen. We also used the same location which we had planned as we was extremely confident  and in the locations we planned as it had a eery isolated atmosphere as well as suitable settings for our narrative, such as car park and forest, it also was convenient for all group members and had lots of low key lighting which added to the mysterious scenes and created suspense within the audience. The costume/hair and make up we used was also as planned as we felt that the protagonist had to be in clothing which is relatable to the audience as they can form a relationship with this character meaning that they empathised with the emotions they feel and are more engrossed in the narrative. We also used the dark casual clothing we planned to use for the antagonist as the mask was essential in hiding his identity and therefore creating suspense as they don't know who he is, the dark clothing was also needed as it meant that he was remained mysterious in low key lighting, it also connotes evil. We felt that these elements had to be as planned to ensure that our thriller was successfully in meeting the genre's codes and conventions.

On the other hand the code/action and shot type and duration we used was not all how we initially planned. We kept the key scenes the same as planned as we wanted to keep the same narrative as planned but we slightly altered the less significant scenes to ensure that the miss-en-scene elements was as suitable as possible and evoked suitable emotions within the audience.
