Filming Day 4

30th November 2016

This filming day consisted of shots including our minor characters Emma and Ben. This day was very productive as it allowed our film to flow and therefore complete this process so we could begin editing. The shot of Emma was important due to it being a part of a shot-reverse-shot sequence with her daughter, played by Megan. The shot of Emma was in the location of a kitchen which allowed the film to be casual and her character to be stereotypically motherly. However, in the shot of Ben, the location is purposefully unknown to the audience as we wanted him to be even more mysterious and close-up.
Despite this, we had some difficulties with lighting and audio within both of these shots. For example, in the shot of Emma, the lighting was far too bright and did not match in with the shot-reverse-shot due to Megan's lighting being fairly dull and natural. In Ben's shot, it was clear that the audio did not work well and this resulted in the audio being very unclear and ambient sound to be heard far too loudly over his speech. Megan and I discussed both of these issues and decided that a re-shoot will be necessary for both of these shots due to this.
