Filming session 2 - photo evidence and comments

Filming session 2

On the second day of our filming, we filmed the scene where Hadi gets mugged by too thugs. We filmed this on a road near Leyton station in the evening. We began by filming long shots and mid shots of Hadi exiting his house, this set the scene for the drama that was about to occur. We then filmed close ups of Hadi's face in response to seeing the two thugs, this conveys his feelings of anxiety to the audience and gives the scene a tense atmosphere. Next, we moved to the other side of the road and filmed from the two criminal's perspectives. We used the tripod to make a tracking shot when they approach Hadi to give the scene a sense of action and to add to our variation of shots. Finally, we put the camera in the fig rig and Hadi lied down on the floor with it to film the low shot for the last part of the scene, which emphasised his lack of power and inability to defend himself from the two criminals.

What Went Well: We finished our filming and used a variety of shots. We got to film in an appropriate location for our idea. The acting was good and convincing.


Even Better If: We filmed in an area with more light. The weather wasn't so bad. We chose a more secluded location. We met up on time.
