Day 4 filming...

Today we filmed our last scene which was when Mandy receives a letter from the stalker/attacker. This was our last scene filming together so we put everything into this shot to get it right and we pulled it off! But of course there were a few problems as always.


What went well
  • Everyone was co-operative when we were filming. They stayed quiet while we filmed and allowed us to get it done without any complications.
  • Our actress Jenessa was present and the whole team ( me, Deon & Richard) was present too.
  • It was originally just going to be Jenessa by herself in the scene but last minute we decided to use extras in the scene who were in the common room when we were going to film. So we asked if a few people would like to be Mandys' friends and Stephanie Opoku, Anthony Browne and Elena Georgiou said yes to it.
Who was in charge of what?
  • Deon was in charge of filming.
  • Me and Richard was in charge of directing.
  • We all helped set up the scene and get everything on point.
  • I came up with the location of using the common room kitchen.
What didn't go well?
  • Everything went well today when we filmed, there were no major problems except for the fact that because we used the common room in the school which was in use at the same time as we were filming, there was a bit of noise from people talking. But we managed to gain their attention and asked them nicely if they could quiet down for a little while, when we start filming the scene.


Location
  • Common room kitchen in our sixth form block which adds realism to the shot. I picked it since we couldn't use our own ones in our houses and the common room kitchen looked like it was in an actual house so it made for a good scene. It also had tables so we pushed one table into the shot which our extras would sit on to make it look as if they were Mandy's friends who were over at her house.




Lighting
  • The direct sunlight from outside helped and made the shot look really clear.
