Third shoot – 21st

Similar to the first shoot, we filmed all the shots in the school location on Wednesday 21st Jan in our free periods. Firstly we took shots of the couple in the cafe. This time the shots looked a lot more affective, we used a different male character, which was more comfortable and easier to direct. We took various different scenes around the school, all of which seemed a high standard. In addition to this, we decided to add another scene in the story line. We added a new couple that we filmed just outside of school on a bench. The lighting was perfect as the sun shone onto the girls face, showing her importance. The shots we took where perfect, and in my opinion the best footage we had so far.

After school we went back to the protagonist’s house to re-film. Similar to the shots we took at school, the footage looked higher quality. Although we did encounter a few problems – the tripod we had kept on breaking, it made it really difficult to keep the camera steady. The lighting was also difficult because there was no natural lighting, and we only had a few lamps available to use. Finally the actor was being slightly temperamental and unwilling to do his job.
We also decided to add more scenes in, these being ones where the stalking is constantly on his victims facebook. However once we shot it we realised how unrealistic and immature it looked.
Overall, this shoot was alot more successful than the last, even though everything wasn’t perfect, but we got what we needed. We decided to upload the footage and see if it was the standard we wanted before we organised another shoot.
