Update on filming.
Today we filmed a significant footage in our trailer which focuses on Jane. This scene uses Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze which is intimately linked to Signund Freud's Psychoanalysis. We plan on using this parallel to clips of Jordan dissecting an animal to convey repulsion towards the character of Jordan Sumner. The colour red is heavily used to convey the sense of sensuality and sexuality but is also used in association to carnage in Jordan's scene, making a repulsing beauty which put the audience in unease and stimulating reaction amongst them. Thus, demanding participation to decode the the text.
In filming this scene, we heavily relied on the use of colours as seen on the bed sheets and the wallpaper in the room. Misc-en-Scene played a very critical role as we tried to convey this image of innocence as well as potential for corruption within the character of Jane.
We did this through utilising different shades of pink and red. These colours are both warm and are closely interlinked as they are the diluted and concentrated versions of one another. Therefore the transition from using pink- a light diluted and somewhat girly colour as it's associated to childhood; down into a deep dark red misc-en-scene shows transition between young adolescent to womanhood. Illustrating how we've incorporated the genre of coming-of-age in to our film.
We used similar shots from the locker scene as a bridge to connect two scenarios together for smooth cuts.
Here are some photographs taken during the filming:
In the following picture we had Lucy (who plays Jane) open the wardrobe whether the camera is actually inside. We used the same effect in the lockers with the character of George/Jordan Carter.
We improvised the lights that we used in this scene due to lack of resources. We used floodlights as a substitute for hard light which worked tremedously. We were extremely lucky with the interior of Lucy (Cook's- my colleague) room. Her dressing table was amazing!
