Filming session 3

Today, we decided to re-film the scenes in my house where we had previous shot some of the footage from the wrong perspective. Using the iPad, a few of the clips had been uploaded from portrait which was not ideal as this would not fill up the whole screen once the footage was put onto the macs. We organised to meet Tavonga early and we all met up at my house to get this done. Eboni had all of the portrait facing footage on her phone and so we knew which scenes we needed to film to save us waiting around and being unsure on what to film.

We began with the shot taken from inside the cupboard of glasses which was very unique and shows another perspective of the action going on in the narrative. The shot was a still close up to focus of facial expressions of Eboni when she is around Tavonga as this is her partner within the video. This shot was filmed from alternatives angles to so the audience can feel the perspective of the location.

Next, we had to film some scenes where Tavonga and Eboni were arguing. I filmed this scene using the tripod so that I could shoot a slight pan shot to show the perspective of Tavonga whilst focusing on Eboni putting two glasses down onto the side. Throughout this shot we used the artificial lighting of kitchen lights which easily lit up both characters to focus on their actions. Props were used in form of the glasses that I bought and two were placed down on the side which symbolises the inner romance that they have as they are planning to have a drink together. Instead however, Eboni throws the glass on the floor as they argue however, this piece of footage was filmed correctly the first time around.

The final pieces of footage were filmed outside of the kitchen and into the hall area as Eboni storms out of the house, closely to be followed by Tavonga. The idea is that Eboni has cheated on him and they have had an argument. We therefore filmed a two shot as the pair are leaving the house and then a shot from each of their points of view. Beth used the stairs to get a raised view of Eboni running out of the house and then a separate shot was used of Tavonga running after her out of the house. The final shots were filmed outside from the other side of the door. This was done to show the footage from the outside as well as the inside from an alternative angle so that the footage will flow and ultimately match up during the video.
