2nd Filming session

Today we went back to Candy’s house to do some more filming. We weren’t very productive and we were very un-organised. We focused on filming the exterior shots but this was very unpractical due to the harsh weather conditions, as a result I don’t think we performed to the best of our ability.

We did some establishing shots of the house and we also panned up and down the road. Our intentions for this was to create some shots that would show the audience of the type of area the scene is based in thus giving them a better understanding of the characters.

As we continued to film we came up with lots of ideas and we ended up changing the storyline and introducing a new character( Candy’s friend). To show that the characters knew each other we decided to show them testing and receiving texts from each other and we did this by simply having extreme close ups of the phones as they received and sent the texts.

We also re filmed the scene with Candy taking the document out of the draw and then reading it. Whilst doing this we realised the lighting was a lot darker in the room compared to the other bedroom scene which we had shot previously and this would look strange when we came to edit. After some deliberation we decided to film all the shots in the bedroom again with the exact same techniques and the same camera movement.

We have booked out the camera so we can do some more filming in our own time as we are starting to fall behind, we aim to finish the filming by next lesson.
