Blog Post 2- Continuing to Film

In the second week of filming for our opening, the details about our villain were accounted for. We used both high and low lighting in the chemistry lab to portray two different scenes and feelings. The antagonist in this story is imperative to note, as well as the masks she is dealing with. We used a variety of shots, such as close ups, high angle shots, establishing shots , and capturing of raw emotions. The scenes incorporated a variety of silent scenes in addition to these close ups.

This is a picture depicting what the students were seeing on the screen. The teacher, or the antagonist,  is enforcing the importance of wearing a mask at all times. However, this is done with poor intent. Her students are engrossed with the film, almost as though they had been placed in a trance.

The students are seen here stuck in a dark classroom, streaming the video through their screens. The class is completely silent, adding to the effects of the diegetic sounds on screen. Here, low lighting is present and engulfs the classroom with darkness.

This is the picture the students will have to remember throughout the duration of the film. The masks play a significant part in this story line.
