Props - mise en scene

Our opening to the film uses a range of props. Some of the main props used are a car, an electric razor and a phone. In our shots there are lots of usual house-hold objects. This is simply because we were filming in Jonny's house and we wanted to establish that the character being shown is a regular person and this is represented by the usual house-hold objects. Our costumes are very simple, one of the characters is wearing very casual and the others are wearing smart clothes, e.g blazers and ties.

Shooting information

On Saturday the 3rd of December we all met again at Jonny Cloke's house to film again. All of lour shots were filmed at the one location that was Jonny's house. We used his bedroom, bathroom, hall-way and drive-way. So far we have filmed over 2 days and we are almost finished but there are a couple of shots that still need to be filmed and they will also be done at Jonny's house. We will be meeting up on one of the upcoming weekends to finish filming.

First day of filming

On the 30th of November, we all met at Jonny Clokes house where we agreed to start filming and use as our location. Myself, Arron North, Jonny Cloke and Sam Dixon Started to film the opening of our film. When we all arrived we started to plan out what our film was going to be about and how we wanted to film it. We also decided on music that would be good to use and once we had come to a decison on a song by a local band we messaged them asking for their permission to use it. Then we started filming the opening shots. During the opening there are shots inside and outside of the house we were using for filming. We started filming the inside shots first and by the time we were ready to film the outside shots it had got to dark for the time of day we wanted in the film. Due to this we didnt get as much filmed as we would have liked.
