Media Studies 3 - Chloe

Today we filmed another scene.  As Shona Isla was back we were able to do a scene with her in it, so we did the scene with her leaving the room, with the gun, jacket and gloves on.

To begin with i filmed her getting her gloves on, we used an over the shoulder shot so the audience could see exactly what she was doing, as it was in a clear view.  We then filmed her opening the draw and taking out the gun and getting ready to use it, we used a very high angle shot, so the gun was in clear view, i then slowly zoomed into the gun.

The next part Shona Isla had an idea, this was when she pulled her coat over, it would then cover the camera and then this would be a transition into the next scene.  We then had a lot of fun on the next scene because Tristan and Connor had the job of trying to teach Shona Isla how to walk like a boy, which was a lot harder than we thought!!! We then finally got it and we filmed the scene with her walking out of the door.

As we need to do more establishing shots we are using the corridors.  We used a low angle shot and filmed Shona Isla’s legs walking by and cut it to her walking the whole length of the corridor.  This shot is good because the lighting is quite dark, which is contributing to film noir, also Shona Isla’s costume as she is all in black then she stands out in the light that we have.

Today was really fun and we got some good shots done.  We have a lot of ideas for the next time we film.  The next time we are hoping to film the conversation between Shona Isla and Connor, this is going to be a little bit tricky but i think it will be good and look cool!!!
