After school yesterday we decided to start filming a few scenes in our film to lessen the burden for us when filming during the half term. We planned to film the scenes with Alex and Claire arguing, Alex and Claire on the bridge and possibly if we had extra time, the handheld shot fo Alex walking down the the path in the park. Although, this did not all go to plan as we wanted to film the scene with Alex and Claire arguing in the Annexe building but there was a problem as we could not get supervision at that time. As a result we had to look for another place that resembles a room to film this scene. We finally came to the decision that we will film in the common room as it does look like a room and has sofas etc. Therefore, we did not have to worry much about certain factors, for example, the mise en scene . Consequently, as this took quite a bit of time to look for a room in the school that would resemble a living room to film in we were not able to film the other scenes that we wanted to which was of Alex and Claire on the bridge, this is part of the scenes where they are getting to know eachother.We are now planning to film this scene later on in the week or beginning of next week, this will possibly on Tuesday.
The schedule for the days later on this week and next week that we are going to be filming will be put onto the blog shortly.
Although we had several problems and disruptions, it didn't stop us from filming and we carried on filming with same enthusiasm as before. I really would like to add something to the comment below. Filming in common room was a challenge, to get the room to look like house. A sofa was set within the scene where Alex and Stella argue. The idea was to make sure mis-en-scene is there to stand out but also create meaning in various ways. For example, Stella wearing the colour read, suggests that she is dominant within the scene but also she is somehow dangerous. Later on we are thinking of a car outside the window to show the audience how it foreshadows the following dramatic event of car crash. It might be also good idea to show Alex's confusion by having an isolated setting.
