Filming Day Three

Our third shooting session was on Wednesday 16th February. We filmed our opening sofa scene with all the close ups, both of Rian's flash backs and Lara's flash back in the mirror.

Shot 1 is an establishing shot to begin our opening sequence of an ordinary living room and our 4 main characters carelessly chatting. When watching it back we decided this shot was too shaky and so we would not be using it in our opening sequence.

Shot 2 is a close up of Mel as she begins our dialogue which will link our 4 characters together through a sentence.

Shot 3 is a close up of Tyrone continuing the linking sentence.

Shot 4 is a close up of Rian continuing the linking sentence.

Shot 5 is a close up of Sarah completing the linking sentence.

Shot 6 is an establishing shot of Rian doing weights.

Shot 7 is a side on close up of the same actions as shot 6.

Shot 8 is an over the shoulder shot of the same actions as shot 6.

Through editing shots 6 - 8 will become a match on action.

Shot 9 is an establishing shot of Rian doing sit ups.

Shot 10 is an over the shoulder shot of Rian carrying out the same actions as shot 9.

Through editing shots 9 and 10 will become a match on action.

Shot 11 is an establishing shot of Sarah looking at her bruises in the mirror. We decided to film Sarah's reflection as we thought it would vary the shots.

Shot 12 is an over the shoulder close up of Sarah tending to her bruises in the mirror.

Shots 1 - 5 are steady so as the show the viewer how the characters have now come to terms with their problems and that they are now no longer vulnerable.

Shots 6 - 12 are handheld to show the viewer how uneasy the characters are and they are also from a high angle to show the characters vulnerability.
