Test shoot and pitching to Matt and Luke

We did a test shoot using the with our phones Edited it with iMovie. For our idea we wanted a church-like setting so we used the Hurtwood house common room without furniture and tried to make it look like a church.. When the priest gave the mass at the very beginning we wanted to film it from different angles, particularly low angles to give the audience the idea that he over-powering and intimidating.  When we began editing, we realised that we need a  wider range of shots so we knew that we could improve it easily by adding shots. The dark lighting in the common room, also helped us to set the mood for the piece as the setting created suspense, which is something that goes against the stereotypical expectation of churches or any religious setting. 
To show the nun  in the confession booth, we used the see-through glass with small outlines on it to symbolise this was the grate between the priest and who ever was confessing their sins. The shots we used included close ups, mid-shots, extreme close ups and mid-long shots for when we filmed the nun praying. For most shots, the dark lighting fitted in well with the scene however, when we did an extreme close up of the nun opening her eyes, it was hard to see as there was a shadow over her face. 

  We wanted to have the priest poure red wine and spill it on a white table to represent blood on an innoncent Background  however as this was the test shoot  we had to improvise with a bottle of coke and a small wooden table. This made the sequence look unprofessional however it still gave us a clear picture of what the pouring would be like in the final clip. 
  After filming the sequence, we edited it and added diegetic and non-diegetic sound like a Choir of monks and heavy pleonastic sound of breathing. This helped to build tension and suspense. Our test shoot worked quite well but if we had more time to prepare we could have brought in someprops and costumes for our cast to wear. 

When we pitched our idea to Matt and Luke, they were not very happy. They didn't like the idea and said that we should think about that we have to film this piece all day and that religion was always a difficult idea to put into reality.
