Shooting Diaries 3

On the third day we decided to film the scene where Alex meets up with his best mate at the pub. We met at Adams house at 12am and Adam drove us down the pub we were going to be filming at. I got the two actors sitting at the bench opposite each other a recorded the scene twice from opposite sides of the bench. I used consistent over the shoulder shots in this scene as it was showing a conversation taking place. I also chose to film it from either side twice so the camera would be in the same position. I also used other shots like a two shot from the side of the bench and a few slight dominant shots as well. The only problems we had when filming this scene was the actors forgetting some of their lines so we had to do a few more takes than expected.

After we finished this scene we went back to Adams house to film the scene where Alex is on a social network looking up Melissa. This scene did not take very long to film as all we needed was an over the shoulder shot of Adam on the computer. We also included shots like an ECU of Adams hand using the mouse and shots of his eyes and face. We also filmed what was being done on screen as well but it did not look that good on camera.
