We re-filmed the shots where Sian and I were walking into the school building, but this time we showed more of the journey and used continuity editing. We also added an extra shot where Ollie filmed from inside the building, to show that Sian pulled the door shut before I got to it, which emphasises my isolation from everyone around.
We decided to add another shot at the end of our film opening to create suspense and drama. In the shot the audience sees the dead body that was previously dragged under a staircase, but as the camera zooms in to my hand, I twitch suggesting I'm not really dead. At first we tried taking a shot from a high angle and then zoomed in on the hand. Then we tried a pan shot from a low angle that moved right until the camera stopped on my twitching hand. Sian filmed this by sliding the camera across the floor. We included the second take of the shot in our film as another glimpse into the present, before it would go back to past events.
