We spent the last two days shooting the final sections of our narrative.
Wednesday was a day of inspiration; we simply grabbed a camera, got in to costume and wondered around Edmonton looking for locations which would make for cool shots. The area around school is quite grungy looking; a large estate provided some great locations for us to use. Once again, we used our tried and true method of blocking it out, then shooting every possible angle repeatedly until we were totally satisfied! I'm really getting in to this role now; high levels of emotion are constantly required and being very scared at a creepy looking Eva is now becoming part of my daily routine!
We know that some of the footage we shot will most likely be completely unusable, but that's okay because we believe you sometimes have to shoot something wrong in order to reshoot it perfectly.
Thursday was a much more structured shoot; we had a full storyboard as this was the climactic fight scene in our video and so needed to be safely choreographed. It went really well; the location was near my house and looked great. We were particularly ruthless with our shooting yesterday; this fight scene has to look as good as it possibly can be, and as none of us had any experience shooting a physical fight it proved to be quite a challenge.
Eva actually did punch me during one take- i'm sure this will make it on to our outtake reel.
