Saturday 5th November - filming day 1
*Today was our 1st filming day. We were planning to do individual shot of our two main characters, Senem and Virginia, as they were easier to organise.*Filming at Graffiti Location in Greenwich, took about 1 1/2 hrs to complete.
*Most shots that we had done on this day were simple Mid-shots showing the character's in their "normal" personas
* Although no colour editing has been done yet, the significance of choosing this location displays how colourful their minds and personalities can be, in contrast to their other selves or "shadow" as Carl Jung demonstrates in his theories about Psychological Horror/Thriller.
*Had several versions of the same shot using different angles to see which one will be better to use.
* We also experimented with panning shots, particularly with ones of the characters looking out away from the camera, as if to emphasise the character's want to "find themselves"
*Also did a shot where both characters walk towards the camera, then pass on either side. On another day, we will try to do a graphic match of the same shot, but with their other selves.
* At the beginning of filming, we also took some shots of Canary Wharf as some footage for establishing shots.
*No colour editing has been done yet, but may adjust it to reflect either side of character's psyche, once all footage has been collected.

Tuesday 8th November- filming day 2
*Today was our 2nd filming day. We'd planned to finish any other remaining shots we didn't do on the 5th, as well as some graphic matches.*This time, we had a lot more high angle shots to emphasise dominance of "shadow" over the "persona"
*Took a few photo stills which we might use on the promotional website and/or poster* The shots here also document the "shadow" on the same background as before -> could also do a graphic match or flicker between the two to show eventual blurred lines between what is real/not, and normal/abnormal.
* Used the 3 grid technique to focus solely on characters.
*Use of the metal stairway away from the graffiti area was also good, documents movement from what's acceptable (possibly the top of the stairs)
and what is not (closer to camera, bottom of the stairs).
*Attempted to do the graphic match with the same shot of walking past the camera. Unfortunately the camera was placed differently, and this day was darker than the 5th, so this particular shot may need to be re-shot or removed completely from the storyboard.
