Yesterday Me and Shelley decided we to record some more footage. Neelam was not around so could not do it but as we haven't long left we thought it would be best just to record something. We changed our idea again as we could not find a male to film yesterday and we was in need of some footage.

We chose to go back to our mentally unstable girl and her dolls. However, we filmed at Shelley's house so we had a bedroom setting which made it more understandable. We used a variety of shots and used a mirror which gave really good effects! We have lots of high angle shots, low angle, close ups, extreme close ups. We tried to do a silhoette but I don't think it worked as well as we hoped.

Our idea was about china dolls messing with the little girl's mind. She is suddenly woken up and her lights start to flicker. She walks over to the mirror and her reflection is herself with make-up smeared across her face. The dolls are on her bed and in her reflection. I played the girl.

Me and Shelley both took turns doing the camera shots and worked together to decide where it should be positioned and how to set the scene. I think if we edit it really well it can be an exellent piece. However, we need to show Neelam and see what she thinks of it too.

We want to go back to the idea havin a series of shots like Se7en. Our piece makes sense but doesn't. It has that effect of confusin so the audience wants to carry on watching it to see what the dolls have to do with the little girl and why her reflection is different to her normal self. Hopefully we should not experiance problems with the continuity and it will link and look very psycological.

We have not discussed the music yet as we will need to edit it to see what kind of piece will suit it.
