Second Shoot

We managed to film most of the scenes that we needed with a few problems that we encountered with filming the scenes.The opening montage sequence were shot as planned. The only problems were with the police station as we were not allowed to film outside the station and we were unable shoot the scene with the door as we could not find Someone to let us film the door.

On the Friday we found a location for this scene using Tom Williams room we managed to get the full scene of the chief's phone conversational with dean's friend playing the part of the Secretary. except for the few mistakes i was pleased in how much we have and how much we have yet to do.

In today's lesson we began uploading the new footage onto the macs and we finally managed to order the sequence of the shots and editing the ident to our preference.

Discussion and Coming up to the second shoot

In class we discussed what we needed to do in order to complete the Day scenes of the crime drama.we booked the camera for the weekend but we decided to shoot on the Friday evening and the Saturday morning as we only needed

To Do List
  • Montage shots for the opening title sequence
  • (XCU) of right eye for p1(1st personality) the police officer
  • Low angle shot of p1 entering the police HQ
  • (CU) on door handle as he enters the office.
We agreed that we shoot the (Dean) chief's phone conversation with Secretary on the Friday afternoon as the atmosphere and lighting will create a better mood for the scene.

Locations
Friday - a classroom in the college it doesn't really matter as long we have a window sill and a window to look out from.
Saturday - (in the city centre) Preferably the German market will be our location for the opening montage sequence as we expect many people to come on the Saturday. For the police station we discussed that we will shoot outside an actual police station in the city centre (with permission).

First Shoot

In the first shoot the camera was booked overnight and it went well we managed to get all the night shots that we wanted plus some other shots i discovered. i managed to persuade an office which was directly above the alley and we got a high angle shot from one of their windows.

We did come across some problems with the camera as it did not work properly while i was shooting the first half of the night sequence. however we decided that we will have to shoot the scenes that we missed the next time we book the camera.

We all had a good time especially the people who acted for us(we only had 3 actors). they were amazed that we were only going to use 3 minutes even though we filmed for 1 hour 30 minutes.
