Construction: Filming Process

When producing, we were sure to show evidence of us filming and acting on our roles as directors of the film. Mine and Kofi's role in the film consisted of the filming and actor direction. While directing, we were sure to film several times over to give the actors greater understanding in what they needed to do. This is demonstrated on the left as kofi aided Darren in how he should deliver his role in the scene and showing him on camera where he may have gone wrong. We found showing the scene on repeat in rough, helped us to reduce our outtakes.

In another scene where Darren was being used, I am showing the area in which Darren must appear from in the camera shot.















This was one of the more challenging shots we had to direct, because we needed to vary the angle used in the scene. This meant we needed to film this shot many times. This made it more difficult as were had to keep the camera steady and close simultaneously. 

This is the equipment that was used for our filming. We used a brick which was part of the mise-en scene props included for our production. This was needed for a weapon towards the end of scene. The actors props consisted of the their clothing (trousers, scruffy coat, hood, converse shoes and glasses). We also made use of fake blood for the actors to use in the scene. For the camera movements, we decided to use a skate board to improvise on the low dolly shot in the beginning of the scene.
