Filming Complete


As Liana said we got all our filming done on Wednesday (16th November). We filmed in consecutive order, as we had planned, which has been a huge improvement and extremely beneficial during editing. 

These two location shots show the 'cafe' scene. As you can see we have kept the main props the same. however to create a better mise en scene we introduced props such as a checked table clothe, cutlery and condiments to give the traditional cafe look. We altered the food choice from badly made porridge to an improvised full English breakfast, using the fillings from 'brunch' sandwiches. I feel this works much better as it's more obviously breakfast and its the traditional meal in the style of cafe we have recreated.

Also pictured is the equipment we used to record. We made use of my Canon DSLR's high definition video recorder for the draft and this final recording. However due to the problems with shaky footage in our draft, regardless of the fact we used a tripod, we found a much more sufficient tripod which correct fitted the attachment on my camera and provided us with a lot more features to help with filming. 

Two other main props we altered we the rose and the party poppers. We changed the colour of the rose from white to a dark shade of pink. I feel the colour injection will make a much greater impact when the footage is together as a lot of the features are quite monotone. The final scene is to had Oliver sit up and let of a party popper, I had thought we would be using a larger one but as we couldn't find one for the draft we just used 4 regular ones. For the final however we found a party shop in Lutterworth that had a party 'cannon', exactly what we had been looking for originally. This however was faulty.
