Shooting finial work

Last Friday and Sunday, my classmates and I shoot my final project. Before shooting, we face a big problem; the shooting location is closed on Sunday. Thus, I need to find a new shooting location or tell actors to delay the shooting time. Fortunately,  I find a new shooting location on Thursday.

Friday morning, we shoot in Toilet. The toilet is in Arkwright building. The supervisor gives us two hours to shoot film, So we need do everything quickly.  In the toilet, Setting light is a big problem. We have already borrowed the battery. Unfortunately, the batter is no power, we have to hold the LED light to shoot film. Our crews are excellent. Finally, we finish shooting before the deadline.

In the afternoon, we shoot the film in my flat. Shirley and Zoey play two customers in my film.  they only have two dialogues, but they perform are very well.


The primary screen is Jim pour the water on the phone. So we do rehearse many times. During shooting, I use the different angle to shoot this action.



Sunday morning, we shoot in the Boots library. This screen is talking about Jim and Tony. Colin is the perfect actor; he can understand Tony's behavior. During the shooting, he gives me many professional pieces of advice. Those advice help me to improve my work.


Now, my shooting is wrap. Thanks for my classmates to help me shoot film. Thanks for Colin and Alexander to play two major players.  They are professional actors. In the next time, I will edit my film.

Prepare

This week, I send an email to Katie and Julie, respectively. Katie agrees me to shoot the film in Arkwright building's toilet, and the shooting time is from 10:00 to 12:30.  In another way, Julie agrees me to shoot the film in the Boots library, and the shooting time is from 10:00 to 13:00. So the shooting location is already Prepare.

I send an email to Colin to check the timetable; he is busy from Monday to Friday, So I will shoot film with Colin on Sunday.



The other actor is called Alexander, I find him in casting call pro, he is interested in comedy. He has free time on Friday and Sunday so that I will shoot film with Alexander on Friday and Sunday.

Shooting list

And it is close to finish

Script

Prepare work

Tom's office

Today, I help Shirley to shoot her Broadway's work; her shooting location is No 17 office.  I find it is a traditional office, and I think it is suitable for Tom's office. So now I sent an email to Broadway to get permission.

Jim's office

In the beginning, I choice library's room to shoot my film. But I find there are many students in the library, So I think it 's hard to record the sound,.So, Today I find other room in Chaucer. The room is 3705.


I  have sent an email to university to check the timetable.


In another way, I take a picture in the Toliet. And I  have sent an email to university to check the schedule.

Broadway's work

This two weeks, we shoot our Broadway's work.

My classmates help me to prepare everything on Monday; my shoot location is Broadway's gallery, So I buy some props to decorate the gallery. We set two tables and some chairs in the gallery. We put some sauces on every table.


Tuesday, we begin to shoot the film, Mark focuses on the camera, Jin focuses on light, Zoey focus, Shirley is an assistant.


Before shooting, actors do rehearse.

During shooting. In the beginning, I use the long shot to shoot three characters.
Then,  I use close up to shoot every character.

In this shooting, I learn some knowledge. Firstly, I find that rehearse is very important when actors do rehearse, I can find some problems, and we can think about an idea to deal with it. Secondly, shoot list can help me to remember every shot. When I edit the film, the shoot list can show which shot is G and which shot is NG.

This is my shoot location
