Filming the closet scene

When we were recording the scene where Agnes is in the closet, we experimented with the night vision setting on the camera. We are using the Sony HD 1000 as we used it last year, so are familiar with the settings. We also knew that the picture quality was good and looked like a film. We decided, when filming to shoot multiple shots. We used shots that had normal lighting, and we also used night vision. The normal shots were very dark to begin with, so we used an IPhone torch to brighten the shot. We found that this was very helpful as it created a very

eerie affect as there were shadows cast by the lighting on the wall. It made the scene look creepy and like she was alone. We then used the night vision setting as we had seen this done before on films such as 'Rec' and it created a creepy look. It showed a lot more in the scene compared to the other setting, and created the look that someone was watching the protagonist. We liked the style and thought it was different, but we were not sure that it looked like someone was watching Agnes. The idea of the scene was that Agnes' parents had dragged

her into the cupboard and had forgotten about her. The fact that this shot made it look like someone was watching her, created the wrong affect for our film we believed. We did like the style of the cinematography, but we thought that the other shots worked better for that particular scene, as it created a creepier look, and made it appear that Agnes was truly alone and terrified.
