Filming: Re-Shoot

Myself and Imogen deciding on
 the panning shot in the kitchen

 
Myself and Imogen filmed again as we needed more footage as the dialogue  actors, location and shots needed to be adjusted and changed. Unfortunately only myself and Imogen were present as Charlee was away and Bethany was unable to attend.


We first filmed the opening scene in the living room in which the protagonist, Aidan Lever, was placed on the sofa watching the news report (which we will add in later) and our child, Angelo, on the floor playing with a dog. We experimented with a few different shots and angles so we could decide on which ones would most closely follow our storyboard.

Next was the kitchen where there would be a fast pan that followed protagonist while he walked from the living room and through the kitchen.  I  did most of the filming whilst Imogen decided which angles to film at and what the actors would do as these are the technical areas we both felt comfortable doing, although I did have in input into Imogen's decision and vice versa. 

Next we filmed in the garage. There was a 
lot more dialogue involved in the scene this time as last time
we had more footage of the protagonist walking towards
the garage and in this edit we wanted there to be confrontation between the protagonist and torture victim. This would create a more gritty, intimating scene which is something we wanted have so that we could combine it with the suspense that is built up prior to the confrontations.

In all the the filming session went very well. The actors and actresses performed strongly, I feel as if the shots we got were ones that we can work with and that will look and although we did not have Bethany and Charlee present I feel we overcame this and completed the task in hand confidently and with skill.
