SKILLS AUDIT: Filming

SKILLS AUDIT: Filming

We decided to meet up on the 14th of March, the first location we shot at was the 'London Fields Railway'. We spent a reasonable amount of time there because we wanted to make sure we covered most of the shots needed for the scene, the type of shots used were establishing shots of the train station including our actor, close ups, medium shots and longs shots. These were not all used in our clip but we shot a variety of shots to see which one would fit well once the we edited. Our mise en scene included the train station, the steps, the cigarette, the ring and the nail, those three last items that are mentioned are significant in our clip.

Our second meeting was on the 18th of March at college, we decided to film the police officer scene and in order to do that we had to ask our media teacher Tony, if we could use his office he agreed to it and we started filming. We wanted the Mise en scene to look like a police department, so we brought down the blinds from the window, scattered papers around, increased the number of pens and pencils and we put the Metropolitan police sign on the computer screen. I was the actor playing the police investigator so i dressed very formal E.g. shirt, tie, black trousers, this was so the audience would understand the purpose of who my charcter was.
