These shots were filmed in Lincoln, which is the main setting for the film, chosen because of it's age and old architecture, which I thought would provide an excellent backdrop for a film set in the early 1900's.
The first shot filmed was a shot of Milton walking down a street, and then breaking into a run after he heard his daughter scream.
This scene was quite problematic to shoot as the specific location used was on uneven ground, meaning I had to constantly adjust the angle of the camera in order to make sure the footage wasn't slanted. (This shot would then be split into two parts, one part, the shot of Milton walking would appear just after the villain had entered Lillian's room, the second part, Milton running, would appear after we see Milton's eye opening wide in shock at hearing his daughter's scream.
The final scene filmed today was an extreme close-up of Milton's eye opening wide after hearing his daughter scream. The expression that I was looking for with this shot as a look of shock, fear (for his daughter's safety) and protectiveness (wanting to protect his daughter from harm).
Overall, I think that the filming went very well, as both scenes were completed to a high standard and as such required very few takes.
