First day of filming

Today marked the first day of filming, our goal was to film the entire movie and leave tomorrow for re-filming the shots which looked odd, or places which we could've gotten other angles/shots. However, we were a little bit limited today as the person being killed had to leave for wrestling practice around 4 hours into our filming without my knowledge. However, we prevailed as he left just as we had all the shots of him in, and the rest of the shots just showed the killer.
This was seen through a POV shot, as the person being killed had left at this point, and we needed to film him actually being murdered, but obviously without him being there, I had to take the role of holding the camera to my chest and allowing to the killer to gash at the floor with the knife near inches from my head.
The following shots that will be shown, are just some raw footage examples of some of the key shots that we took and that will most likely be edited or reshot for further purposes.
This is just the long shot where the kidnapped person seems to follow the speaker, using the spotlighting lighting technique and is met with their demise through the serial killer appearing behind them, which will be added in through a cut.
This over the shoulder shot does nothing but reinforce how the kidnapped person is trapped and being monitored by the eerie feeling you get in a desolate dark garage, while he is being peered upon from the back.
This is one of the last images shown before the movie introduction ends. Obviously, this shot will need to be redone and is not even in full, as the entirety of another shot similar to this one just couldn't be sent through email. However, this shot aims to show how the bulletin board proves to be vital to the opening credits along with advancing the plot of the entirety of the film. However it is very important to point out that only Antonio and I were there during filming, with Antonio acted as codirector and I filmed and produced art direction, with all the mis en scence (knives, mask, and bulletin board), as well as costumes including the dark hoodie of our killer.
