Filming Day 2

Yesterday we filmed the first half of the film and completed all of the filming for this module. We originally and ideally wanted to film in an office so we could create a more realistic working environment and also try to get some people to act as co-workers for Lucy to be talking to. Hannah emailed Dean to see about booking us a office space to film in, and he was unable to book out an office but said he could look into booking out a pc room or meeting room which are better than nothing. Finally we ended up with a meeting room that Dean told us may or may not have a computer,which would mean someone would have to bring a laptop to get the shot of Lucy typing at the beginning of the film, or we would have to re think that part and use something else. We also had to change the script since it was a small meeting room, where Lucy is working on her own and her friend calls her asking about her night instead of a co-worker sitting with her, as we couldn't find extras in time. Although we had these set backs I think we still managed to get what we wanted filmed in the same way we wanted it to be put across in the original script. We used all the same equipment as we used for Grindleford as we loved the camera and it helped with making the shots look really good. We again got through the filming without any problems and felt positive about what we had filmed. Both of the actresses are convincing in their roles and work well with us. One of the last shots of the first half of the film is after Lucy drinks the tea that Zoe has drugged and stumbles out of the room. To make this look different we wanted to film this scene with the camera going in and out of focus and swaying slightly to show the disorientation of Lucy.
