I discovered a wide range of camera angles and tested a handheld tracking shot when our actress ran into the bathroom. Our preliminary task was inspired from the clip in the horror movie 'Identity' 2003 when the main actress was trying to hide from her partner. In our clip, we changed the way we filmed the actress entering, and we used little dialogue. Filming this preliminary task as it gave us a sense of what filming our actual final product will feel like. We each acted as a director many times as we had to tell our actress how we wanted her to behave, and showed her the scene we wanted to recreate beforehand so that she had an idea of what to do. When it comes to our actual production, she will need to go over an actual script instead of re-enacting a scene from a movie. We're fortunate that my actress is a drama student and has experience of reading scripts from the film industry before.
From the experience as whole, I learnt that planning is the most important factor in creating a media product, especially a horror film. Knowledge of editing, filming and narrative is needed, as well as sticking to a production schedule.
