Filming scene one of 'The Prisoner'



Here we have started to shoot the footage for our short film 'The Prisoner'. We have used two locations for this scene, an desolate field and an office building. We found that problems occurred when trying to shoot at both locations. For example, when shooting in the field we found that because it was a public foot path there was quite a few members of the public walking through the shots at different moments, as a result this caused a delay in our shooting schedule and made it longer to capture the shot we required. When shooting at the office block building we had the issue of being unsure as to whether we were allowed to shoot in the location. Prior to filming we had sent an email to the company/ manager that was in charge of the building, giving them a date a rough time of when we were wanting to shoot and asked politely whether this would be possible. Unfortunately they didn't reply to the email and when we arrived at the location no one was there for us to speak to. As we had no intent to break into the building or cause damage we decided to film anyway as we only needed the outside door. Here is evidence for asking permission to film on the site.

After around 2 hours of filming we had completed scene 1 and were ready to import it onto the editing software. We then took the scene and imported it into the editing software making sure to carefully select the correct clips that we wanted to use (as we had filmed extra shots and safety shots to make sure we got the scene right). We will make more progress with filming scene later in the week. For now we will focus on our editing of scene one- as seen below.
