Filming Days

Day 1:

We decided to film at our first Location Paul's house. At first we wasn't sure on how to make our film opening come to live in front of us and so this day was really about testing out different shots we could use as well as seeing how we can manipulate our location in order to make it portray the film genre as well as our storyline. In the scenes that we shot we only needed our first character which was Conrad. As already stated he played the youth worker. Our storyline for Conrad was that he would be a youth Worker with clear problems that could be picked up on by the audience and so we deliberately made him look messy and unattractive. To do this we requested that this cast member shave their head and we smudged toothpaste on the side of his mouth to make it look real dirty. Overall many shots were taken of this cast member displaying the character in many ways. Overall this first day of filming was really productive based upon the group as a whole knowing what we would do next in terms of the next scene.

Day 2:

Our second Location was the train station scene, for this scene we would need Will. For this scene we had already thought of many good ideas and so we made them effective by carrying them out and seeing what went wrong and what went right. We managed to carry out effective filming and carry out a range of shots to use in our opening. We did have one minor issue and that was the change in light but this we could not change and so we made the use of hat we had. We had shots such as tracking shots , close ups and medium shots to display this character to the audience. The reason why we carried out so many shots was to see if the shots could affect the audience and how they would perceive it.
