the murder - recce

This is a recce of the murder which will take place in the woods in Bransdale, Yorkshire. This recce was taken in my garden and was for the sole use of showing the two different ways that I am most likely to light this shot.

The mirror was used as a substitute for the mirrored sunglasses which I didn't have access to at the time, however it provides the same effect that the mirrored sunglasses will.

The actors used in this recce are not the same as the ones who will be playing the parts in the actual opening.





My recce showed me a lot about how I should light my murder scene. Overall the lighting in the recce was very dark as I only used one mains light and in shot with the mirror this light was partially blocked to make the face more visable. In this mirror shot however I added one more very low light that I held under the girl's face which lit up her face and gave it a yellow light making her face more visible and spooky in the mirror.

In the first long shot showing the strangling itself I also only used one mains light, this amount of light was sufficient for this location which was my garden. However, I think when I am filming on my actual location the space will be much bigger and therefore I will need more lights to create the same effect.
