Final day of filming

For our final day of filming we started off filming the character leaving his house and walking onto the street. We got Dan Finn to act as the character and used the outside of his house for the filming .

The first shot was a high angle shot of the door being opened and slammed shut. We used the high angle shot so we did not see the characters face and only his legs so his identity is still kept hidden. We then had to film the character walk onto the street so we had to use the 180 degree rule to keep the continuity of the piece. All this time we are filming only the lower half of the character so we do not see his face. Next we had to take a shot of the car going around the corner. We had a problem with this as there was a lot of grass at the corner and as it was meant to be in new york we had to angle the shot so we did not see as much. We had to take a few takes of this because the car that Isaac was driving had to be in the right position to get the shot. We then had to get a shot of the inside of Isaac's car to show the audience what it looked like, we took the shot from the back seat so it looked like it was from a passengers point of view. Then we had to show a shot of the car driving along to give the idea of the speed it is travelling, to do this we took a high angled shot of just the wheels of the car then in editing we will speed it up to give the idea of it going much faster.

After this we travelled to Sophie's dads house to film the character in the bathroom washing his face. We soon encountered a problem as there was a mirror in front of the sink and when filming the character you were able to see his face in the mirror. We overcame this problem by steaming up the mirror by using a kettle. This worked really well as the character looked like a blured figure in the mirror, giving it a really cool effect. The filming went well with shots of the character turning on the tap and splashing water in his face, these shots were filmed for a short amount of time to give the idea of the rush to get ready in the morning. We then travelled to Isaac's house to film the last parts. For the character walking down the stairs we used a low angle shot but not low enough to see the characters face. We used this type of shot to give a view of a person looking up the stairs. We then were able to do the shot of the character eating the bagel as we brought some before hand. We are going to use stock animation of the bagel being eating so we took a shot of the bagel on the plate every time a bite was taken. We decided to do this as it gives are film a different edge to it. When taking the shots of the bagel being cut we realised that it took to long to show the whole bagel being cut in half, so we decided to speed it up when it comes to editing it. After that we went outside to film the final shots of the character being hit by the car. For this we decided to take a high angle shot of the character falling over on the bonnet of the car so you don't see the background and therefore still believe it is new york. The final shot we did was an inside the car shot of the character rolling on the bonnet. We decided to use this shot because it is a point of view shot of the accident, and gives a personal feel to the film.
