Fliming part 2

Yesterday we got together and now we really started filming the more difficult and messy shots. we had to change our male actor as the first one we had was busy but we made sure they were wearing the same thing and since everything had tighter shots it turned out ok. I think the hardest things was the scene of him taking her heart out as we didn't want to graphically show that but at the same time make it clear to the audience what he is doing. My original shot idea which is in the storyboard for getting closer and then up was very difficult to do as we had nothing to make the camera stable. So instead we decided to make a clear shadow and simply film the shadow. This certainly wasn't ideal but we worked what we had and it came out well. The other biggest challenge we faced was the lighting, we were just using lots of flashlights as our lighting so we had to keep moving the lights around for the camera to capture the image. Overall this filming day was very successful but very very messy. The fake blood got absolutely everywhere!! When they poured all that blood on me it created a huge puddle me and it was super cold! then after when I went to change the blood had bleed through the shirt and was all over my back!!!! Thankfully I came off with simply a wet paper towel but it still took a while to clean it all up. We started filming around 9 and finished at around 2 am, we knew we were going to do this because we knew we wanted to take advantage of the night time. We finished about 80% of our shots and I was really happy with how they came out. Below are a few pics from our filming day part 2.
