Filming

We have succesfully finished our filming. Our first shot was the first flashback this was the easiest scene to film as we were able to do this during lesson time. To film this shot it took over over two hours as we tried to get all different types of angles and lighting as well as just filming the same shot over and over to find the best one. We had originally filmed this scene in daytime and tried to black out the room however this didn't work too well because in the background there was still light shining through. Also the shot looked very grainy and was hard to see, To overcome this we filmed this at night after school we also had a fire going which adds a great effect. (Jack Ware and Lee Ervine)

The second Flashback of a man tied up in chair was also a easy shot to film as this could be filmed in lesson time and at school. This scene was inspired by the film Léon where a person is unaware that he is about to be killed. This scene helps to show of what a person the assassion is and his skills when killing. We didn't add this to are final media film as it seemed rushed and the lighting was poor and really unable to see this scene. Also it would go over the limt of being a two minute long opening of a thriller film. (Jack Ware and Lee Ervine)

To film the next scene we had to take time outside of school as we had to film in a village near to Hedingham Ridgewell. The location of the scene was an abandoned barn which worked well for an assasins hideout. The fliming overall was very successful we filmed all of our initail shots from the storyboard, some we had to change due to unable to film at certain locations and the intial idea was to complex and some we had to tweak a little to fit in with the environment. We used the environment well to our advantage and got some really nice shots for example long distance shots through a field. (Jack Ware and Lee Ervine)

Also some of the shots that we used were tracking shots. These shots were difficult to shoot at first because of the location. The Floor of the abandoned barn was covered with bent pieces of metal and bent corregated iron, these features went well with the setting, but made it difficult to film the tracking shots because the person filming would have to' tread carefully and have very steady hands so as there wasn't any shakey movement.
