Filming blog

On friday night we started filming our main scene. And we left the other scenes for the rest of the weekend. On friday night, around 5:30pm we started to go to the park. We got there around 6:30 because there was a lot of traffic. Once we got there it was very windy so we tried to it as fast as possible and still get our amazing footage and all the footage we needed. We first started off with getting the main shots and then proceeded to get some other extra footage. we started the murder scene by going more into the park and going where there are a lot of trees. Once we got there we started setting up or props and we got some walking shots and some shots that’s happened before the murder ended. And then we started setting up the blood which was fake and i had made it at home which was corn syrup mixed with some water and some red gel food coloring and black cherry flavored kool aid which made it the exact color of real blood but in this case it is very much fake blood. We then continued to film our footage for the rest of the murder which i had to be laid on the floor with the blood zip lock bag in my shirt taped to my stomach. which we then had to tear the bag a little so when she stuck the fake knife in my stomach the bag would pop and the blood would drop out making it look very real. But we had some complications with the blood because it was a little too thick so then we had to add water to make it more liquid so it would be able to completely drip out and look as if i was bleeding a lot. after that we had to use the main character to put a bloody hand print onto my neck to make it look as if the victim got strangled before the actual stabbing had happened. after that we went to the swing area at the park to film the “playground” scene which is the main character and the victim having “fun” at the swings and slides. We then took pictures for the next day to use as evidence and we looked over some footage that we took and we were all set.
