Stabbing Scene - Last Filming

The last scene was done quickly as we had less time. We decided to shoot in our college park which was the closest place to film this particular scene and also because we had used a real knife and a fake blood as a prop of mise-en-scene we needed Mary to supervise us. This scene was the girl (Susan) seeing the murderer stab the victim (Elelta) in her dream.

The first shot was a medium long shot of the victim walking past the camera and the murderer/possessed girl walking onto the camera from the left hand side of the camera. This was also the establishing shot as we had shown the park in the background while the victim walked past. The shot follows with a low angle shot of Susan killing Elelta, whilst Elelta screams. The shot continues with a match cut as we have a low angle shot of a tree in the back with Susan’s holding the knife still stabbing Elelta, although Elelta is not shown on camera. The shot follows with an over the shoulder shot of again Susan still stabbing Elelta in the stomach. The shot comes to the end as we see Elelta’s hand covered with blood and the bloody knife lying beside her. The shot finishes from the point of view of Elelta, the camera is used as Elelta’s eye, and the camera is tilted with Elelta’s hand in front of the camera whilst Susan walks away. The reason as to why we never showed a glimpse of Susan’s face in this scene is because Susan is seeing herself do all this but is unaware that it is her.
