Diary of the Re-Shoot

For the re-shoot we decided that we had to be alot more organised as before in the first shooting we were not very organised and spent alot of time deciding what shots we were going to use. In order to be more organised Christian had a very detailed storyboard that told us exactly what shots we were going to use and exactly what mise en scene was needed in the shot. This helped greatly and after meeting at the Two Brewers pub in Ongar at 4 o clock we started walking to our location knowing exactly what we were going to do.

We used our story board and starting shooting straight away we were using the same locations so we knew how to set things up this was apparent all throughout the first shot on the story board. We then went onto the second shot on the story board and so on, and as a result of such a detailed story board we managed to complete the whole re-shoot in just over four hours. This was very good and shows how planning is key when shooting.


Here are some pictures of the various things done throughout the entire filming process in order to make the film as good as possible. 




Here is a picture of Christian filming a low angle shot  of the main character, this is to show that the character is in a dominating position and should be feared.




Here is a picture of Christian filming a high angle shot whilst the main character is on the floor just regaining consciousness, this is used to show that the character is in a vulnerable position after just passing out. 




Here is a picture of Christian and Charlie setting up the camera in order to make sure it is in the right position.




Here is a picture of the setting where we filmed one of the main scenes in our production. You can also see the props that we set up with the cloths line with hanging pictures in it in order to make the building feel scary and as though a crime has been committed. 






Here is a picture of Christian aligning a very innovative low angle shot between  the feet of Charlie in order to capture a low angle image of another character but with Charlie's feet in the shot. The reason for this shot was to give the point of view from behind Charlie to get a different aspect of the situation, also the fact that Charlie is in the shot makes the atmosphere alot more intense as you know he is a victim.   




This is a picture taken from the same place as the recording camera was situated in order to show how the high angle shot was used in order to make the victim look vulnerable when laying in a ditch unconscious.
