Thoughts/Features: 5
We have finished our production process at our main location, Withington Community Hospital. Out of the two dates we completed the filming on the first date (15th March) as we were organised and the hospital were very helpful as they let us film in a corridor where there would be no interruptions as the appointments had all finished. They offered us various corridors upstairs and downstairs to which one would be best suited to our film genre. We explored the corridors available and practiced some of our shots and different angles, this was a great advantage as it allowed us to see which part of the hospital complimented not only our various camera shots but also the narrative and genre. In the end, we decided to shoot Ruben coming down the stairs of the hospital as it gave us the chance to use match cuts and aerial shot in an unusual angle. This connected to the atmosphere of the opening as it gave a sense of mystery.
The corridor we chose looked more effective as it was long and narrow with a large window at the end, which gave it an effect of the corridor closing in on the possessed girl.
Our choice of a hospital location worked very effectively and also gave us as directors, cameramen and editors, an essence of the feel of a horror/thriller genre and encouraged our ideas and improved them by expanding them deeper.
We are very thankful to Withington Hospital for their kindness and will be writing a letter to show our appreciation.
