Filming

We were given a license to film at the library at kingswood wood house, I found the actually location of the place shaakira got hard to find so i spent quite a bit of time looking for it. we arranged to meet 30-minutes before the actors so that we can have a plan what we want to do with the location. We looked around and found lots of places we could get good shots. We also rearranged the furniture so that we could get the look we wanted and also give the actors space move.

Most of our actors came on time but our lead male got the times mixed up and said he would be an hour late which was a big problem because we only had 4 hours to film.So we decided to try get some shots that we didn't need him in but it was very hard because he is in nearly all scenes.

when he finally came and we briefed everyone of what we want them to do, we then had problems with the boom mic because the end bit wouldn't stay still, so that took up more time trying to fix it. we then began filming the scene in which the girl goes to talk to the liberian. We had to get it for at least 3 different shots and angles so that we would have lots of options when editing. I had to fill in for this role because one of our actors pulled out so it was difficult because I wasn't actor, so it took a few takes for me to get it right. For the day Shaakira was the one mainly using the camera whilst I was on boom and directing it , the reason why I was given that role is because we both thought its better if the person if the person who came up with the idea should direct it.

one shot we got that we were proud of was the low angle slow zoom of the guy reading the book through the banister, I thought it looked well composed and framed. I few shots i felt went really well was the handheld shots Shaakira and I did, they were steady and the angles were unique. But our favorite shot of the day had to be the scene were they first start flirting with each other. I also thought the composition of the robbers coming in was fantastic.

Parts of filming which i thought could have gone better was firstly the scene of them walking around and flirting could have been better but we didn't have that many aisles to play around with and the space was very small so we weren't able to get a long scene or a variation of shots. I also thought that we weren't able to capture the whole robber scene to the best of our ability due to the time constraints  we weren't able to get everything done.
