Me and John started to film on Friday 2nd December 2011, we had a productive day of about 6 hours of setting up and filming our production, we got plenty of shots which we will use in our final production. Such as the dragging back scene, the courtyard mystery shoots and the interrogation/Narration shots. Which John wasn't too happy with, so we will re-shoot them at school with a different actor (Morris). John stars as Belakov, who is a the main 'bad guy' and I stared as the main character (Camera man) because all the shots in the production are Point Of View shots.
On Saturday 3rd December 2011, we were joined by Morris to get the finishing shots, we came up with a brand new idea which involved an external actor from outside of the group (James Franklin). The scene involved all four of us to play a part, John as Belakov, Me as the main character (POV shots), Morris as Captain Lionel ,and James as McNeal. The new scene inquired John to shot James, and then come back out of nowhere and knock me to the floor and beat Morris up as I ran away. The shot was a success, we shot it at dusk, allowing for a sense of mystery because of John being able to disappear and reappear from nowhere.
Overall the 2 days of filming were a success, now lets wait and see what we can do with the footage and what the final production looks like. I just hope its success and we get an A for it.
This is going well Zander. You need to focus on giving a bit more explanation / justification for the choices you have made - you often post pictures but need to add brief comments to explain their meaning.
