(COURSEWORK) (Idea 1) Main Task: Filming.

Thursday 7th Feb 2013
Location: Angel, Islington
Jodie and I went to shoot some establishing shots in Angel. We found it quite hard to get the exact shots we wanted to get as we couldn't get high enough to get the perfect birds eye view. However, we got some shots of traffic and a few high angle shots.


Friday 8th Feb 2013
Location: Nightingale Estate
We all went to Nightingale estate to get some better establishing shots of the area. Nightingale is a tower block so we went to the 21st floor, and took some shots of the view. We panned from left to right, hopefully this will be our first shot.

Saturday 9th Feb 2013
Location: Tottenham
Nga, Jodie and Mica plus our cast went to a house in which they filmed most of the shots. I wasn't able to go for a reason that was out of my control. It didn't go in the way that we all wanted it to so we have to do some re-takes but we did get some really good shots.

Sunday 17th Feb 2013
Location: Essex (Jodie's House)
We all went down to essex to film the house scenes. We used the blue and grey filters over the lights to create a "crack house" atmosphere. The filming went really well however, when we looked back at the footage we realised that we didn't have enough extras to make it look realistic and we didn't use enough camera techniques so we scheduled another filming day to get some more shots.

Thursday 21st Feb 2013
Location: Hackney (Pedro's House)
We decided that the car scene of our opening would be too complicated considering the amount of time we had to film and getting the lady to drive. So to avoid further complication we chose to start our film with the main character (Pedro) at his house. Here, we got some great shots of our main character and his mum. Again we used the lights to create a "warm" atmosphere. As we were filming using the stairs in his house we had some complications with the shadow of the camera being visible in the frame but we were able to work round that and get the shots we needed.
