Updated Shot List- Car scene

Due to some complications on the shooting day we had to change location which therefore meant that I had to change some of my shots at the wouldn't fit with the location so bellow are my new shot list for the scene (some shots re still the same however)

1. Mid Shot-This shows a sign which says that no cars are allowed to to park and then we see a car roll up in the same shot which shows the driver doesn't usually follow the rules so is possibly a bad or dangerous person.

2.Close Up-This shot is unchanged from previous.

3.Over The Shoulder Shot-This shot is unchanged form previous.

4.Low Angle Shot-This shot shows the villain exit the car and due to the low angle looking up at him we see he is in power in this situation (he walks towards and past the camera).

5.Wide Shot-This shot shows that the villain is walking round the car after he has passed the camera and is therefore a match on action as his movement is continued in a new shot.

6.Mid Shot-This shot is unchanged from previous.

7.Over the shoulder-This shot is unchanged from previous.

8.POV-This shot is unchanged from previous.

Filming- Day 1

12:30pm-1:00pm We had a few issues as we we circumstances meant that the original person to play the villain couldn't but we had a stand in so it was fine in the end. We also couldn't shoot at our original location due to the car park being filled and the football games in the background which didn't suit the scene so we went to our backup location on Clay lane which worked just as well.

1:00pm-2:30pm We arrived at the location at around 1:00pm which meant we had enough time to film before it went dark and in this one and a half hour period we managed to film my part of the sequence where the villain is seen pulling up in his car and then gets out because the victim is making noise and he then opens the car boot to get him out. I tried different angles for each shot so that when we edit we can see which one works best. The opening shot was supposed to be closer in but I decided that to get the sign in it would be better if the camera was far back so that we could see the car pull up infront of the sign. When the camera looks into the car I decided that it would be good to add in a pillow and sleeping bag as it would denote that the villain sleeps in his car and therefore that he is on the run. I filmed multiple angles and shots of the villain getting out of the car (close ups, wide shots and a shot from inside the car) in the end I feel it best that we merge some of them together so that we can use a jump cut to show our editing skills. We also left time before and after the action in the shot so that we could have time to extend the film if we needed to.
Characters needed=villain

2:30pm-3:30pm Matt then took over to film his part of the scene where the villain pulled the victim out of the car and hit him so that he would stop making noise and then threw him back in the car boot. However due to low charge on the phone we had to run home and recharge the phone and ourselfs before going back out to finish.
Characters needed=villain and victim 

4:10pm-4:30pm We left the house and arrived back at around 4:10pm where we spent 20 minuets getting the final few shots for the scene including a POV of me and the part of the scene where the villain throws the victim back in the boot for Matt's part.

By 4:30pm we were done and now we will go to Matt's house tomorrow to film the backup scene for the villain and the victim in the garage and the scene where we see the hero.

Backup Location

Below are shot from Clay Lane as this is our backup location because we were unable to film at Longhay field which was our first choice location.
This sign may be good as we will use in in our opening sequence and then show the car to denote that the villain doesn't play by the rules as he has is parked where he shouldn't be.

 This shot is just a shot with the car in which shows the whole area in which this part of the sequence will be shot and gives us an idea of where to place the camera.

 This is one angle which shows the car from the passenger seat side as we want to see which side will work best to show the car as we must stick to the 180 degrees rule.

 This is a shot of the car from the side the driver will be sat which is the other possible side to shoot the part where he exits the car on.

This is a shot of behind the car as we will see if we should add in the backdrop to the scene or if it make the area too pleasant as we want it to be a dark scene.

This is the brush at the side and we have a picture here so that we can see i it will be a good idea to have the villain push the victim up against that or if it is better to just have him up against the car.

Focus Group

Bellow is the focus group's which we have done so that we can see what people in the target audience (12-15 both male and female) think about the idea for our opening sequence. From this we have discovered how we may make some slight adjustments to our opening sequence due to the fact that we got the answers to the questions we wanted to:

Male 


Female
