First day of filming

For our first day of filming we went to Isaac's house to film the shots of the character waking up and getting ready to go to work. Our first shot was of the character hitting the alarm clock as he woke up. For this we had to give the bedside table the alarm clock was on a messy look, so we put some money and bits and pieces to give it an authentic look.

 We decided to take two shots of each shot so we can chose between the two and pick the best one. The next shot we did was of the character cracking an egg and putting it in the frying pan. We were going to take separate shots of the character cracking the egg then of it being put into the frying pan. The cracking of the egg went well but when we were putting it into the frying pan it didn't look very realistic so we decided we would cut some of it out so it only showed it hitting the pan.


 We then had to shoot the shots of the character turning on the kettle which went well, and of the kettle reaching the boiling point. With this shot we decided to have a close up of the switch switching of to show it has reached the boiling point.


Then we did the shot of the mug being put down on the table. We decided to use a low angled shot of the cup being put down and then a high angled shot of the water being poured into the kettle. We realised that when we had the water being put into the mug we didn't show the tea bag being put in, so we decided to do a shot of the tea bag being put into the mug. We then had to shoot the egg being cooked in the frying pan, we used a high angled shot to show the egg being cooked. We wanted the sound of the egg hissing as it was cooked so we held the mic close to the frying pan.


Our last shot was of the character taking his car keys, which like all the other shots we took two shots.
