we went back to make changes to what the audience
said. we designed some shots before hand of how we think it would make it clear
that the barman's involvement and how to further increase the knowledge,
seriousness and organisation of the hero. these were
•
a shot of our hero
at a desk watching CCTV footage of the bar and the gang threatening the barman
in the CCTV footage, this meant we had to also shoot some high shoots in corner
of the bar of activity to be turned into the CCTV footage.
•
a shot of the hero entering and
sitting down in the corner but with a hood and coat to hide his identity.
•
shot of the barman being
threatened as the gang enters with the victim
these few extra shots opened up the audiences
knowledge of what is going on in the story.
we also had to refilm a shot where one of the
actors smiles and it just looked bad because of that.
we turned up on time and the pub was clear and no
disturbances. this means we could work to schedule. the producer had alot of
control over his crew and organised set up for the order of shots we were going
to film. we again had limited time with one of our actors so got to shooting
theirs first. it meant shooting completely out of order. we used the previous
footage that we were keeping to keep continuity from the last time we were
there. as we shot it, we had a few bad moments were actors went wrong but it
was all good to get the shots in in the end. we got the extra one's shot easily
and precisely and they were good as they were not very long.
we re filmed the shot
were we noticed a laugh and adapted it slightly to make it a bit more dramatic
and involve a shot reverse shot we had previously missed. in the end we put
them on the laptop and put a brief draft together to see a overall picture and
thought it looked much better
we then went back to school and used a drama room
with a spot light to shoot the desk shot, we used a match on action here as we
knew it would look good if the hero was watching it, but then it would switch
to the actual footage. so we used a clip and decided the right transition would
make that flow a lot better than just a straight cheap cut. so we were thinking
about editing it before we got to that. hopefully will allow for a better
overall product in the end.
