Filming
25th February
Today was the 1st day of filming. Today we spent the 1st hour checking the changes we have made to the script are alright and setting up/making sure the room is just how we want it. I then got changed, dirtying my clothes, using Ketchup as fake blood on my face and being sprayed with water to look like i was sweating. I then got tied to the cheer in the middle of the room by me legs and my hands tied behind my back. At the same time The people playing the kidnappers got into costume, wearing all black and balaclavas. Also the 4th person in the group was setting up the camera and testing shot angles and positions. After all of this we shot the 1st scenes that would be shown from inside the room. Mainly close ups of me and the kidnappers entering the room. After looking back at the footage we then shot from a few different angles and heights before deciding we were happy with the three hours work.
2nd March
Today was the 2nd day of filming bruise. Again I was obviosuly the kidnappee, and today after making sure the room was just as it was last week we filmed the next number of shots in the film. This time it was footage of both the kidnappers coming into the room, whispering to eachother, and showing of a few things around the room like weapons. (Not that I could see any of this being filmed as the whole time I was blindfolded apart from when we had breaks.) After the two hours were all happy with the footage we shot and called it a day.
9th March
Today we had our 3rd day of filming. I had to attempt more acting today as we filmed shots of the kidnappers interacting with me. I found this difficult, as it wasn't always easy to keep a straight face. We filmed from a number of different angles and heights again over and over until we were happy with the outcome. The footage we got today was also the last footage we needed to shoot apart from a few changes to footage we had shot on earlier days. It was of the kidnappers interacting with me and also leaving me in the room, which would be the end of the opening. There were a few problems with the filming as our idea for the titles would be a piece of paper on the back of the door saying the name of the film, (bruise) which would be zoomed in on when the door shut. The piece of paper being held up by a knife. The 1st problem we had was shutting the door too hard and the knife falling out obviously letting the paper fall to the ground, the next problem being when one of the people playing kidnappers tried to shut the door not as hard it didn't shut and swung back open. This was basically a question of shutting the door just hard enough for the latch to catch on it without knocking the knife out. The next problem was whether to turn the light off as the kidnappers walked out or not. We tried it with the light on and off. It looked better with the light off, but when zooming in on the door it was hard to make out the titles. We solved this by playing with the contrast when editing to make it clearer.
