Filming Day 3 22/11/10

Today we had planned to do finish our filming with the Helen Howe local shots and the final shot. However, due to the fog on Friday we had to cancel our filming and therefore had to film these shots today also. We planned to get the cast together at St Ann's pub in Great Leigh's at 1.30pm this is so we knew we would have plenty of time to film before it starts getting dark. The first shot we did today was the pub scene where Helen's shoes are tracked in a low angle close up shot where Helen is then revealed the camera then pans into a point of view shot where she looks at the 'lad's' cheering outside of the pub. We took this shot a few times so that we can choose the best one when it comes to editing. We made sure we asked for permission to film outside the pub before filming and we checked again when we got to the location. The road was not very busy so this made the shot a lot easier to capture and therefore we kept to schedule. We then filmed Helen turning the corner where we used shot reverse shot to get a shot of Helen turning the corner in a long shot of her back to then a long shot of her frontwards walking towards the camera when she had turned the corner. This shot was simple and the continuity is good as shot reverse shot maintained Helen's positioning. After this shot we used Jade and Sophie like we had stated to be the Helen Howe locals who stop what they are doing and watch Helen walk past. These shots both went well and we used the over the shoulder and panning shots that are stated on the storyboard. We then filmed the shot where Stephanie slaps Richard we got 3 points of view on the cameras so we will have a good flowing scene in our trailer when it comes to editing.
Overall this day has been successful as we managed to get all of the necessary cast to Gt Leigh's despite the actor issue and also we filmed a lot of the trailer in detail to prevent mistakes and little errors. We now only have 3 shots left to film which we have agreed to film on a date we have set.
