Day 5 - Filming The Knife Scene

In this lesson we filmed our killing scene in the college garden. Mary was supervising us for health and safety reasons as we were using a knife as our props. We also used fake blood. Here, we used intertextuality twice in different occasions. In the first part was when Susan's stabbing movements represented the bath scene in 'Psycho' and in the second part was where i was lying dead with blood in hands represented one of the killing scenes in 'The Shinning'. The use of mise en scene help set the mood with the help of natural lighting. The best part of today's filming was the tilt of my character's point of view shot whilst Susan was walking away. This is because it was very effective.
