Behind the scenes- Bathroom analyse

The process when filming this part of our sequence was very simple and consisted of myself striping back the bathroom to the basics. I removed all of the unwanted items from the bathroom and I then placed the desired items into the bathroom. Placing the pills in one corner of the bath and empty pill packets alongside the protagonist. Allowing space between the pills themselves and the packets, creating the idea of the unpredictable and unexpected not knowing her future actions. We also placed the bubble bath within the scene, having the lid beside the bottle, dripping slightly on the baths surface. Projecting the consistency of blood and the colour red also projecting a sense of danger. We also placed a razor on the bath rack (which is the item that lays across the bath). The razor was placed throughout the shots to also enhance the idea of danger and self-harm. The colour of the razor is also linked to the colour of the bubble bath being red and the razor being pink. This does also add a feminine quality illustrating that she is female. Lots of mirrors were also in the scenes to display self-criticism and judgment. Additionally, these were already in the location on arrival. When setting up we only really had to focus on setting up the camera and tripod. The tripod was only really used for panning shots and the rest of the filming was hand-held.

The issues that we faced were defiantly the hand-held filming as some of the shots are a little unsteady and this detracts from what we are trying to achieve. However, to overcome this factor we begun to use software that will add steadiness to the shot, incorporating the professional quality that is needed. Further, The space within the bathroom-made it hard to complete some shots, so re-adjusting some shots was key to capture the same feel but through a different light. This however, led to some of the shots being changed in the storyboard, but it is barely noticeable to see. We still tried to remain very close and similar to the original shot but at a different angle in some cases. Overall, we faced some minor issues but we successfully solved them and overcame them by adjusting some areas. Therefore, maintaining the high quality that we wanted to achieve.

Finally, the changes that were made to the storyboard were very little but we had to change two major aspects of the storyboard, due to the space within the area which we were filming, for which was the panning shot of the bath from above. The reason we had to change was because the space itself was too compact to actually get the shot in the right angle. However, we compromised with using another shot instead to replace this feature. On the contrary, The other shot that was extremely difficult was the shot of zooming into the mirror and reflecting the character in the bath. This had to be changed due to every time that the shot was filmed, the cameraman was also caught in the shot, we don't want this as it makes the shot seem unprofessional alongside the cameraman having a significance to the opening, when actually they have no significance to the film at all. Overall, these changes were very straight forward and actually with the compromises that we used it is virtually impossible to tell that anything has been changed at all, in fact I feel that it may work better than the previous shots actually did.
