Today we filmed the first shot of our thriller. It was a rough few hours but the end result was a success. Firstly, here are the issues we faced which were:
Technical difficulties
- Camera battery died during our first take so we had to reschedule which held us back about 2 hours.
- The tripod wasn't working well with the angle of the shot I needed to take for one part of the scene, so i suggested we revert to handheld instead.
Location
- We were going to shoot the office scene in the study room but then Richard managed to get Ms Smythe, one of the staff members to allow us to use her office since it looked more realistic and similar to an actual office in a police department.
Actors
- Because the office had two spaces we decided to get an extra for the scene. First we used Deon our group member but he wasnt appropriately dressed for the role so we found one of the sixth formers who was dressed to the role and he was more than willing to help.
What went well
Aside form our filming issues, our first shoot went well due to
Actors/Extras
- Richard whose playing Detective Morris, did well and co-operated which is essential for any film making, resulting in a successful shot.
- Kelechi our extra was also co-operative and followed precise instructions and helped set the scene.
Lighting
- The sun was out so it helped brighten the room, making things vivid.
Costume
- The shirt and tie worked well with the scenery.
Weather
- Didn't really effect the shoot because we weren't filming outside for this scene.
Here's us at work!
