Filming Log - Entry 1

Tuesday 24th September 2013

Today I began my filming and I think I made really good progress. I got a lot done and have scheduled in another time to film with my talent.

What I filmed? 

Scene 1

Opens with a shot of the Lauren (main character) on her own in the common room. She is in the foreground and behind her you can see a group of people looking and laughing. She has an annoyed look on her face, there is then a racking focus as the group leader throws a scrunched up ball of paper at her.  When it hits her the bully says, "Oh sorry, did I hit you, I was aiming for the bin." The way she says it is clearly sarcastic.There is then another racking focus back to the main character looking even more annoyed as she hurriedly picks up her things and leaves the room. The shot tracks her as she leaves and you can hear the group in the back laughing as she goes.

Scene 2

This scene is different from my story board as it now involves a text conversation. For this reason it is a close-up of Lauren's phone screen as she has a text conversation with her friend.

Scene 6

The final scene is Lauren and Chloe walking into the common room together, (mid shot/tracking shot of them walking in) and the bullies looking at the Chloe like she's infected (mid-shot of the bully/friend's old group looking disgusted) and Chloe and Lauren ignore them no longer caring. (mid-shot of them looking over their shoulders, maybe waving mockingly)

 

Next Tuesday (1st October 2013) I intend to film both of the park scenes and possibly the corridor scene depending on how long the park scenes take.
