Construction- Reflection- The life of Danika

Reflection- The life of Danika    
In this blogpost i am going to be talking about Danika as a person and again how well we have coped with filming the various shots we had.
This is a full shot of Danika(Xhuliana) in her bedroom. This is a full shot so we can see that i am angry and almost possessed as i am looking at the image and clenching my fists into the duvet. We see right from the beginning that i am mentally unstable. The shot was easy to shoot but we had to try and get the angle right so we could see a bit of my face.

This is a Hollywood shot of Danika looking at the photo. The way i am positioned and how i am looking at the camera is evil and shows that i am someone with a grudge. This again was a fairly easy shot to do, however because i had to act as though i was angry, i kept laughing, however we finally managed to do it. 


This is the climax of the two minute introduction as Danika has succeeded in killing Jane (Shannon). Here a medium shot is used to see the emotions on both of the girls faces but to also see their body movements, you can also see the settings (bush) so they know clearly where it has taken place. This shot was successfully done as i dragged Jane far into the bush to make it more realistic and i also grabbed her face and stomach. However this was possibly the longest shot in terms of how long we took to film it as we kept on laughing and not getting the angles right. We also kept getting stuck while i was dragging her into the bush. I also had to keep doing my makeup in every scene (apart from the beginning scene)to keep continuity so we had to make sure we had everything we needed with us and re doing it close to how it was the scene before.
This was a medium close up of Danika after i have brutally killed Jane and i an now standing outside the house of my  next victims. Here my mental state has completely deteriorated as i am standing covered in blood not bothered about who sees me all i want to do is kill again. This was for me personally the hardest shot to complete because it was freezing outside and i was really cold, i was also covered in blood where i had people walking past looking a bit confused and because we had to get the shot in between the diamonds of the window it took quite long to shot so i couldn't move and they due to the fact they were inside they had to direct me using hand movements.

This is a medium shot of Lily, a medium close up of Mia and a full shot of Danika. This is the final scene which builds tension as to what is going to happen next and it is a bit creepy as she is standing there unbeknownst to Mia and Lily. Danika at this point is pleased with herself for being able to kill Jane, But is still hungry for more blood which is why we see all three girls in this shot. This shot was a bit tricky because we had to arrange ourselves in the correct positions for the camera and we kept moving around, but overall it didn't take long and went well for us.
