Final filming: Hyde Scenes

At 5pm on Tuesday the 29th of January, We met up to film the scenes involving Hyde. We had scheduled this a couple of times before but due to snow and other complications, we had not been able to film. We needed the scene to be at night so we scheduled a time where it would be dark outside. The first complication we came across was the main cobbled area we wanted to use had all kinds of construction works happening. We did however find several other locations that were perfect for filming, They may not necessarily look like structures from the 40's but certainly look no later than that. We filmed several scenes of him walking which splits the Jekyll scenes up to make it more interesting, and also explains the murder a bit more. A scene we were forced to scrap was the first scene of the body with Hyde standing over it. We did however adapt the footage we got of it to imply a person on the edge of death looking up to see Hyde. This automatically identifies him as the Antagonist. Another issue we had was the fake blood. We had not checked how the blood looked beforehand and when we used it, we realized it was too light .

A scene which I am very proud of is the shadow scene, we had the idea of Hyde revealing the gun whilst we saw the shadow of him doing so. I believe this is one of the better shots we filmed if not the best and it helps with continuity quite a lot more as it explains the gun.

We had to improvise a lot of the locations for the shots that we filmed. Whilst e knew the actual location of the shots, We didn't plan where it would actually be, rather we had hoped we would find some good places that would look good and earlier than the 1940's.

All in all, I think the filming was excellent and we produced some quality results. We are in the process of final editing and these scenes really help it to flow and establish the enigma.
