Filming- 07/02

As this was our second filming session we achieved advice from our first shooting, this meant that time was spent doing a lot more productive filming rather than wasting time. In this session we filmed the first 15 seconds- 30seconds of our opening, as we had to re-shoot this again. However this time the high-key lighting was much better which meant the footage was clear and of high-quality. This was because we used a small lamp and moved the light about to see the different effects we obtained. As I said in my last evaluation we took back the feedback from the first filming session and used a variety of different shots, we took close ups and mid shots of the actors as we felt this would increase the audiences attention. Once this scene was done, we were able to move forward and shot another scene, this was of the main antagonist character. We wanted to make sure he had the dominance of the scene as he is the foremost character; therefore we made sure he had the most screen time as this connotes this importance in the rest of the film to the audience. In this scene we will be using back and white as it’s a flashback, we feel this indexically implies that it happen in the past connoting that it had already happened.  We used a variety of shots in this scene including mid-shots, long-shots and Point-of-view shot to add diversity within our opening.  Overall I feel as if it was a good filming session, whereby a lot of high-quality material was produced. However when we next film all of our shots we will have a purpose to the variety that we use, to keep the audience engaged. We will also set a time during the day that will be suitable, for example light weather no rain/ darkness. We will guide are actors so they know exactly what they have to achieve in each scene.

Aspects to consider for the next filming session:

ü Guide the actors so they understand exactly what to do in their scenes.

ü   Make sure the continuity of our opening is of high-quality.
