Filming day 1....

Filming takes a lot of planning before you can begin anything to do with filming, so our group came together and made a list of all the scenes that we wanted to film on the day from our film schedule which were:
  • Establishing shot
  • Protagonist walking down the alleyway, down the street and approaching the door
  • Protagonist finding her mum
  • View point shots
  • Suicide letter
  • Other kitchen scene
So we did plan to accomplish a lot in one afternoon. But in order to film those scenes we had to think of any props that maybe needed which were:
  • Pills
  • Alcohol bottles
  • extra food and drink to set the scene of a messy kitchen
We planned to shot the film at a particular location but realised that it was impossible to film there because it was unavailable. So we came to a mutual decision of another location.
Shooting the scenes:
The first scene which we filmed was the protagonist walking through hall way to find her drunk mum on the kitchen floor she goes to help her but her mum  pushes her away. She then walks out the room with a look of disappointment and sadness on her face. We shot this scene with a number of different shots such as ; over the shoulder, point of view, low angle, high angle and close up.
The second scene was the other kitchen scene when the protagonist sits at the dinning table staring at her mum and then notices the broken glass so walks towards her picks up a cloth and starts to clean it up and notices the blood from her mums writs goes to touch her mum and the mum quickly slaps her off. The scene then ends with the gild chucking the cloth on the kitchen top and hastily walking out the kitchen. Again with this scene we used a variety of shots we used; low angle, placed the camera on a level shelf, view point and close up. The use of all these different shots will hopefully when edited add more drama and tension to the film.
