Filming scene 2

On Tuesday night we filmed the second half of our project. We decided to use the sciecne learning centre as the location for our filming of the second scene. We felt that this would be an appropriate location as it had big meeting rooms that could be used as part of a police investigation- which was the look we were going for. When it came to setting up the shots for this location it was a rather simple proccess. The shots we used consisted main of medium close ups and over the shoulder shots that didnt require movement and therefore didnt require much space in order to set them up. One problem that we had with this location was that there was no ambient lighting within the room. This caused a problem as it meant we could create as much of an eery effect with the lighting as we had hoped to. However we tried to compensate for this by using natural daylight and the blinds that were in the room. As a result we did have to edit the brightness and contrast on the footage but it wasn't significant enough for us to have to re-film. The overall scene took just over an hour to film and we ensured that we captured more footage than we needed in order to make the editing process more efficent. To get access to this location we had to email one of the school teachers to be able to film on the site. This was not an issue. The next step for us now is to start to edit together scene one and two and put together the final sequence for our film.

  1. Could do with more detail here, Laura - a clearer insight of the process you went through (setting up shots, particular problems and solutions) would be good. Also, don't forget to post about the editing process.
