Reshoot Day 2

9th of January 2017

Megan and I decided to reshoot on the 9th of January. We filmed the scenes of my character (Mirabell) walking in numerous different locations with the envelope prop. These shots were vital for our film as it shows the journey I made in order to deliver it to a specific person. The locations we decided to use were in parks and streets as they highlighted normality and casuality.

Megan and I chose to use a tripod for my walking shots to ensure stability and good quality filming. This proved to be the right decision as the shots came out really well and exactly how we wanted to. This contrasts with our shots in our first draft as they were shaky due to us not always using a tripod during filming. Megan and I initially decided to begin reshooting in an evening, however, we quickly realised lighting and quality was an issue so we chose to begin reshooting the following day mid-afternoon to ensure that our filming was the best possible. This proved to be the right decision too as the reshoots came out really good.

We ensured to do numerous test shots before we began reshooting the real footage. We shot footage in parks, twitchells and pavements which all proved to be good locations to utilise. As mentioned before, due to filming in the afternoon, lighting was not a problem and allowed the quality of each piece of footage to be excellent.

One of the shots we did, which was of me walking up some stairs, was part of the sequence just before I had entered Ben's office. These shots were good as they were very well lit with artificial lighting due to it being a car parks' staircase. Megan and I ensured to do numerous test shots in order to decide on the best angles to use during this. We quickly decided on the two shots of me from behind going up and then me from in front coming up as they showed my journey up these stairs very well.


In conclusion, I believe that this day was a very productive day as we shot multiple pieces of footage which came out very well. We both decided that the tripod was a very good element to our film as it helped us with stabilising each piece of footage as that was a problem in our first draft.
