Once again we decided to make a video dairy, so that our day to day stages of completing the film is caught by you the 'bloggers'. This way it also shows you what we are up to rather than me telling you.
This day was the last day of filming as a group, we allowed Deon Hunte to be in charge for that day. We shot the scene where Mandy would open the letter that was sent by her attacker, this apart of the film should have audience wondering what is going on.
Organisation was a key aspect of getting this part of the film done and dusted to the best of our ability. We were organised enough to finish the scene without that much trouble, however we can not go a day without no trouble at all. There were some things that was not prefect about filming on this day but some how we got through it.
The difficulties we went through:
As we had to use the common room's kitchen area as the kitchen of the girl who was attacked (Jenessa Tawiah). We had to have the setting of the seen as quite as possible but this was seen to be a problem. We had students making noise as it was their independent study time and we had to use the location at the same time they had their study time. I could assure you no studying was going on there, and we had to get the students quite some how. So as a team we asked some of the students nicely to keep the noise down, after asking the main group of students to settle down the other individuals saw how much we needed the location to be quite so they allowed us to shoot the film whiles they were as quite as possible.
I believe the paragraph above was the main difficulty we went through, this may have been because we were well organised and more alert over things that may go wrong. This is not me trying to be over confident about our filming saying nothing was wrong with it at all, I just believe that we as a team have learnt from our mistakes and we made sure they did not happen again.
Things that went well
Another great location for the shot, once again it showed some realism. Lynette was the person who found us the lovely location, she did a real good job of thinking it through. As you may have heard me say, or should I say try to say 'verisimilitude' the location should definitely make the audience believe that the common room kitchen is a normal household kitchen.
Once again I believe the actors and actresses managed to come dressed appropriately. They also followed instructions well, they listened to what we had to say and we guided and directed them without any trouble. I believe gave it their all and completed the task without any complaints, some good constructive comments were made by an actor and we took this on board and changed what was seen to not be useful. That showed me that the teamwork makes positive things happen.
Here are a few pictures of the day:
