The Package Introduction Task

This is our finished result of attempting to film "The Package". For the mis-en-scene we wanted to create a setting and an atmosphere that seemed tense and sinister. We only had the college and the surrounding areas as possible locations however we made the most of what we had to work with.
So to help create a tense atmosphere we turned down exposure to make all the shots dimmer.

For the lighting we wanted to turn down the exposure to create a dim light and gloomy effect. We completely overlooked the fact the actual lights in some scenes were different on each day of filming, however it was easy enough to correct in editing by playing around with the color curves.

We used high and low camera angles throughout to create various effects. However my favorite angled shot, and my favorite shot of the whole film, was the very last one at the end when the protagonists are killed and the cure is stolen. 
This is shot from the ground in order to depict and show the villain as powerful since he's just won, and the arm laying across the bottom of the shot shows how the protagonist has been defeated and has the package literally taken from his hands.

For the very first shot of the film, when Shannon is walking towards the entrance, we used an over-the-shoulder tracking shot. We accomplished this by mounting a 'slider' on our tripod and placing it in line with the door so we could follow Shannon as she walked.
 It took a few tries since we struggled to move at the same speed as one another, however once we got the finished result we thought it looked okay.

We did accidentally break the 180 degree rule at one point though. We was trying to stay aware of it the whole time, however the first half of the film was shot in a tight enclosed corridor, so when trying to achieve the shots we had in our heads, we slipped up a couple of times and it wasnt noticeable until editing.

Here is our POV shot we tried filming:

I'm not quite sure what we did wrong on the shot, however it felt like the protagonist was being followed more than we was seeing through her eyes. We probably made it too shakey, or filmed her walking too far forward in the previous shot. Like I say I'm not sure what went wrong in this shot, but it definitely didn't.
