Shooting analysis 18/1/20

After school we shot the last few scenes we needed to do and we expect after one more session of filming we will have finished, and will have time to do any re shoots if necessary. Having needing a car for the scene Bens Dad whoi works for Mercedes, let us use a Mercedes for shooting. This was ideal as we where looking for a good car to shoot with as this is meant to be Christians’ car. The car was parked down a side street and we had the car for half an hour and managed to get all the shots we needed. Bens Dad was also on hand for some shots. There was the occasional problem of cars and people walking past but apart from this the shoot went well. We used the car headlights and street lighting to are advantage, creating shadows.

Shooting analysis 16/1/10

On Saturday 16th January we went out and shot shots - . The location for these shots where Trowse Bridge and Trowse, Hopkin homes/ YMCA. This was our third time of shooting. The weather was very damp and along side with the good street lighting the combination created some very good reflections and shadows which looked both striking and moody. It was very cold but we managed to shoot most of what we hoped to achieve apart from some shots which we couldn’t shoot because it was too dark, we are instead shooting these on Friday. Overall the shooting went well, with our actors on set on time and the right weather.

Shooting analysis, 15/1/10

On Friday 15th January after school I went and filmed the final shots of out opening. This was our second day of filming having previously done some filming in Trowse on Monday. The location for the final shots was one of our actors house, Isobel Bailey, this was very convent because the actor was on location. We decided to have Christian’s and Isabella’s house for this location because it was suitably fitting for the part, being fairly large and well furnished. The shoot went very well and I made good use of the lamps and slit blinds in the house, the result of which I could create some good shadows in the shots. The door of the house was particularly interesting and old fashioned with coloured glass panes above it, using this to my advantages I shot Isabella walking past them outside, managing a good looking shot. I also did some shooting outside, in a alleyway near Isobel’s house, the alleyway had perfect lighting from several streetlamps and created excellent shadows. The shooting outside went very smoothly with no problems apart from the occasional dog walking, overall all the shooting was very successful and I felt some very good shots where achieved.
