Shooting day

By the end of this shooting session we hoped to have completed the footage of Paul, meaning we would then have completed all footage of the boys receiving the text. Unfortunately Jess was unable to make the agreed time therefore it was left to me, Jake and Sophie to film one of our actors Paul.

I believe this was by far the easiest and quickest shoot we have done. Paul was very co-operative and didn’t mess around making us all think he was more than suitable to have in our opening sequence.

We originally planned to film Paul in a pub however we thought it would be a lot easier to film in our school and make it out as though Paul was a teacher. We managed to get permission to film in one of our teacher’s classrooms.

We used a variety of shots including:

·         Match on action of him opening the door

·         A close up of his hands typing on the computer

·         A close up of his legs as he walked out the room

·         A long shot showing the surroundings 

·         A mid shot of him writing/ typing
