The graveyard scene- Candice Tyson

• In our short film we are planning to use a close-up of Louise's mum crying at her grave while she mourns her daughters death. To do this we used a syringe and salty water to squirt into the corner of her eye to give the effect of tears.
• The issues we had with using the syringe was that the salty water came out quite quickly making it difficult to capture the 'crying' on camera.

This is a screen grab from our final film after using the syringe to create tears

Issues we had with the crying shots:

• When it came to filming the close-ups of Louise's mum crying the tears on Louise's mum's face were not obvious enough and after a few attempts we came to the conclusion that this idea wasn't going to work. Instead, we changed the shot to a medium long shot of the mum standing at the grave looking sad and as if she was crying.
