Parity - Production

When filming our thriller we used my mobile phone to take pictures of different scenes. 

This image shows Sam and Haran setting up the tripod to begin filming our first scene.

To make it look more realistic we added fake blood onto the knife to give the impression it is the murder weapon.

Here is our main protagonist, played by Sam. I had the idea to wear suits to give off the impression that it is at a formal party. By un-tucking his shirt and loosening his tie it suggested that when I was stabbed I held onto his shirt as I slowly died.

As shown in 'behind the scenes 1' we used the fake blood on the wall and floor to give the effect that I slid down and hit the ground. We smeared the blood with our hands to make it seem more realistic. 

As shown in 'behind the scenes 5' Haran climbs up onto the sink surface due to limited space with the tripod. When using a high angle shot it adds a professional touch to our thriller.

This picture shows Haran setting up the tripod to start filming are next scene. By using the tripod it ensures us a steady picture and an easy panning shot rather than filming by hand. 

This scene was to be used in the mirror as a flashback scene. It shows Sam murdering me, but I have already got a blood stain on my shirt. This is because we filmed this scene last, however this wasn't an issue as you only see my back in the mirror. 

Here, Sam and Haran are discussing the best way to drag my body, this had to be thought carefully as we wanted our thriller to be realistic as possible.

We needed a high angle shot to film a particular scene in the film. However the tripod couldn't extend to a high enough level, so Haran stepped onto the toilet to get the highest angle shot as possible.
