Introduction
In this blog post I am going to discuss how I filmed, where I filmed and the issues that I had to overcome during the process of filming.
Location
The location that I used to film was tower which my family rented as a holiday home for a few days. This tower featured an amazing spiral staircase (shown in a image below) which I felt was a must to be featured in my filming! The property was named "Luttrell's Tower" - which I used for the name of my film.

Filming
To film my opening sequence I use my Canon 60D on video camera mode, on mostly manual focus. As a photography A level study I am used to using this camera, however this was one of the first times I had used it on video camera mode.
As I was using my mother, Belinda, as the only character featured time planning was not an issue. I also used my own tripod to film on. One difficult that I faced so that as the location was a very old house the floor was very uneven and the corridors where every tight. This made it difficult to level the tripod. As shown in the pictures below, my setup for filming the locking door scenes.

Lighting
I chose a overcast day to get a light condition to film in without the issue of blowout areas. I used most natural lighting, a part from in the final scene. For the final scene I experimented with a few different torches because deciding on that one.
Mise-En-Scene
Luckily, for my mise-en-scene, I did not have to change a lot of things for the scenes with my character in. This is an the house we filmed in was furnished in a simple, old fashioned style. I simply removed a few electronic products to give it a more plain style.
For the scene filmed with a torch I set up an entire scene. This included items liking to mental health disorders and addictions.
Costume
I dressed my actor in plain style clothing, of a dark colour. Black jeans with a long sleeved dark blue cotton top.
