SEAN

I AM CINEMATOGRAPHER

During filming, it was my job to set up the camera for each individual shot and film the action that Lizzie directed.

Main problems included the creaky tripod and keeping the balance straight, but despite this it went well.

I filmed around 15 minutes of footage to be cut down to 5, including multiple shots of some scenes, so that the editor can use the best shot possible.

One of the best shots in my opinion was the one of Lizzie opening the bathroom door and turning the flickering light on. I managed to get it so that the camera wasn't visible through the mirrors but Lizzie's face could be seen, which I thought was good.

One of the problem shots was of Lizzie's POV following Keeley leaving the kitchen. I kept panning too fast or slow, so we either saw Keeley's arm closing the door or we just saw the door already closed. However, I overcame this and eventually filmed the perfect result.
