Shooting - Final New Scene

 When we changed our beginning scene we had to re-shoot it one day after school. We were going to shoot this scene at Toms house because he had the idea of shooting down one of his ally ways and then I would go around the corner and then get hit by a car. We had to shoot a few of the same shots again so we could edit to get fast passed cuts. One  thing we found hard was staying in the same position when shooting from different angles and making sure we didn't have any continuity errors.




Here are a few screenshots of the clips that we got like the beginning shot to establish that Chester is the main character.

Then another shot showing the other two characters.

Here is when lewis ( camera man ) would stand in different positions to get different angles so when editing we could use fast paced editing.




This was when we used a zoom out of when I am dead on the floor showing isolation with the blood running down my face.

Location For New scene

For the new scene that we are going to add we are filming it down one of our friends alley ways. We decided to shoot near his house so we were easily able to get all the equipment from his house and then cycle to the ally way and then film. We also used this alley way so we could ask his mum to get there car and drive it to the alley way so we could shoot it with a car to make it more realistic rather than just having my face on the floor. Using the car meant that we could show the audience what happened to me so it would make more sense.

We will cycle down the alley way towards the right and then I will be at the front so when I turn the corner I will hit the car straight on. Cycling down the alley way meant that Lewis (Camera man) meant that he could stand in different places and shoot the same scene so when we came to editing we could use fast paced cuts to create tension.

Shooting The New Beginning Scene #2

Richmond Park | Opening Scene

For the beginning of our opening scene we decided to film in Richmond park. We decided to film Chester and two of his friends cycling around Richmond Park using different camera shots to create a faced paced scene just before it goes down hill and then gets run over. 

We had the idea of getting lewis to cycle behind us whilst filming so we could get shots like in the music video  

'Rudimental - Waiting All Night ' and how they haven't used a tripod to get still shots. But when we looked back at the shots we realised that half of the takes weren't even looking at us cycling they were looking at the floor so we just decided to keep with the cycling idea for the beginning scene but instead of filming it in Richmond Park we would film it in an alley way near one of our houses so we could get Toms mum to drive the car so we could make my death more realistic.

New Beginning Scene

                         

For our film we wanted to have a stronger beginning instead of Chester walking on a beach and then gets a phone call from his grandparents say that his parents have just died. We came up with the idea of Chester and his friends on bikes having fun doing what teenagers do going around the park and then suddenly his brother or friend gets hit by a car so the connection between the two will be stronger.

We filmed this scene in an alley way near our friends house. We would film us going  down they alley from different angles and from different heights, so then when we come to editing we can use fast paced cuts to create tension just before Chester's  friend gets run over by a car. We are going to shoot the same scene multiple times from loads of different angles and places so when we come to editing we can use fast paced cuts to build up the tension.
