Day 1 of Filming

During this day of filming, we managed to get the consent from the actors which we did not interview so that we could film them. This included the groups in the classroom and also the male protagonist.

We then began to film the classroom footage. This included Bronte, our female protagonist, walking into the classroom. We showed this through match on action and also a medium shot, keeping into the 180 degree rule. However, we needed the footage of the meet up between the female protagonist and her friend, so that we could get an idea if they were walking in together. This will be done in the second day of filming. We have also filmed the conversation between the female protagonist and her friend. We used a shot reverse shot and also the rule of thirds. We have done this so that it show the two characters talking to each other but in an effective way. The lighting for this scene was good because you could clearly see each character due to the natural classroom lighting. We also put extra concealer to hide the imperfections on Bronte's skin so that the camera would pick up on the flawless skin. We also filmed Oliver, our male protagonist, entering the wrong classroom and this is the first time they realise that they are in the same school.

We then went outside school where we filmed Bronte walking down the road which proved to be difficult because we kept on getting other people behind. We then called Oliver so that he could come and do his footage. We made them stand on the opposite side of the road where we got the to look at each other. We filmed Oliver first where he looked at Bronte across the road. We the filmed Bronte doing the same. It was difficult to work out the 180 degree rule and so this took us a few tries. We had to also make sure we left enough time so that the voice over will fit in with the time of her walking.

We then walked back into school where we asked the lady on reception if it was okay to use the sign in book and to film at the front desk. She agreed and so we filmed Bronte walking into school. We then decided to use a close up where we filmed Bronte signing in. She then suggested that she looked at some posters on the wall so she is taking the new surrounding in. We liked this idea and so decided to use it. We then filmed Bronte walking down the hallway. This took multiple times because children kept walking past and getting into shot. We then filmed a high angle shot of Bronte walking up some stairs to make her look vulnerable. This is where we stopped because we ran out of time as it was lunch and so we kept on getting other school children which we did not want.
