THRILLER COURSEWORK: PRODUCTION STAGE 2

This is it! The first structured and scheduled day of filming- and arguably the hardest sequence to pull off! Ryu and I booked the rooms and corridors (from the health and safety list below the blog), from 3:00PM to 5:30PM so we could have a late to sunset lighting for the mood, hence Ryu's colour grading in post-production. 

Speaking of technicality, I made some fake blood from careful portions and mixing of food colouring, water and soap. Ryu and I took the first 20 minutes of the production time to bloody-up the shirt and dry it off. I'm pretty proud of the work we made.

After a helping hand from Toy, Ryu's fascinating shots, and my limping... I could say it was a bloody good shot! (no pun intended)

scene to pull off compared to all the shots so far.
"THE EYE SHOT"

Back Overview

The corresponding wound from the front to back which indicates a full
through stab of the torso

Back left shoulder that shows bloodied hand prints which symbolizes the
desperation of help and assistance that never came.

Me, on the verge of my neck broken after 28 tiresome takes
of a horizontal neck showing my large eye- without blinking-
for at least 20 seconds

Here's a little Behind the Scenes on how I became so passionate in my acting of an exhausted and distressed victim through the help of Toy...
