Filming - Day 2

What we did:
  • Firstly, we began filming at some flats in Haywards Heath, the reason we decided this place would be acceptable was strictly based on the working class image it contained, as well being able to film with ease.
  • We tried filming shots of the actor walking into the premises from the gates, all the way into the car park, or we'd start half way from the car park and shoot to the top of the car park.
  • We also tried starting at some steps outside the building and walking towards the door, to give the idea that the location was home for him.
  • The second location we filmed at was the park. We shot several takes of the actor sitting alone on the benches, and we shot from a distance, as well as up close.
Problems:
  • The tripod caused a lot of wonky shots which troubled the quality of the filming, as well as always having to re-adjust the tripod to make sure it was straight as possible.
  • We forgot to the bring the storyboard which relied on us remembering from memory, instead of using it as a guide during filming. This made it difficult to decide what shots to do as we could only rely on what we thought would be good.
Props:
  • Two hoodies were bought along on set to set the two shoots apart, so the time difference was obvious.
  • New trainers were bought which didn't look worn out or old so we decided to rub as much mud on them as possible so that they looked like Jimmy had had them for ages.
