Third day of filming...

Today, we filmed the 'pub scene.' This scene included Brittany, Hayley and Waq for the acting. Cameron and Christina directed the footage and filmed. For the parts that Hayley was not acting, she also helped Cameron direct the footage. Brittany was in charge of organising the props used for the drunken scenes and I directed Cameron on how the shot should be portrayed; directing different angles and discussing how the shots would work best, changing them if need be. Our filming was successful as the landlord of the pub allowed us to flim inside and it was quiet so that we could focus without distraction. We already had permission to film outside the pub, however, when we arrived this is when the landlord allowed us to film inside. For sky to ground shots; Hayley used initiative and directed Cameron to film the footage from a higher angle; filming at the top of the car park of the pub. We used apple juice as a substitute for a pint of beer as Waq does not drink alcohol but we still needed the filming to look authentic. For this reason, we also used water as a substitute for vodka.

We worked well as a team, contributing indivual ideas about how a shot should be taken; if a certain angle needed to be corrected/altered to make it look more like what we are aiming for.

In connection to our call sheets, we are more a less running to our time schedule, we were not able to film more memories of myself and Waq but we have arranged to film this footage the following wednesday.

We are pleased with our footage as we feel that very soon we will be able to put our shots in their chronological, storyboard related order as the filming is almost completed.


We filmed the boy walking into the bar, with the camera panning round to follow him. He then sat down with a drink, we sat him by a window so that he would have some natural light coming in, it worked really well as it shone around his head and the light came from all around him. We worked very well as a team on this shoot, everyone participated and added ideas for what would look good, what angles to use and where we could film it from. We shot the drinking part loads of times from a lot of different angles and perspectives. When we edit this we will cut it so that it is fast moving and snappy. After this scene we filmed Waq and I getting into the car. I had the idea to film this from above as we had a long way to walk and it may have proved hard to move the camera steadily. The first time we shot this we didn’t look drunk enough so the second time we put as much effort as we could in and over emphasised being drunk, this worked really well. The long shot looked effective and it followed us getting into the car.
