Last Thursday, my media studies class and I went into our local town to film the rest of our film opening. The weather was rainy and dark so we took advantage of this and used it to create pathetic fallacy as our protagonist is feeling stressed because she forgot her boss' coffee. The scene we filmed was when Samantha is running to get the coffee. Our actor, Molly, had to run into Costa Coffee and collect the cups of coffee and run back to the office again. We decided to film with two cameras so we could get a variety of different shots and angles of the same footage and would add continuity when editing.
We started with both cameras on the other side of the road to Samantha, and one camera used an extra long-shot panning her running into Costa, the other used a more zoomed in long-shot of her running.
For Samantha leaving Costa, we borrowed two coffee cups which added verisimilitude. We then filmed a mid shot of Samantha leaving the cafe holding two cups and start to run the way she came from.
To add variation we then used one of the cameras to film Samantha running away from the camera on the same side of the road.
Then we filmed a long shot of her running back to the office holding the coffee cups.
Where the screen shot says 'Title Text Here', we envisage this being where our film title will come up. We hope to add a transition so that it moves to the left as if Samantha's running after it.
Next Thursday we are going to film our train station scene, this is will be our last filming day.
