Diary - Filming and Editing

Last week, we filmed the second part of the opening sequence, the street scene. For this, I reassumed the role of the religious fanatic character, Joseph. We travelled to a local alley to film the assault and kidnapping of Jack's character. Unfortunately, we were only able to film this scene in the day time, as it was the only time where the whole team could make it and also, an evening scene would need lighting, which would be difficult to acquire lighting. However, apart from a woman worried about us defacing nearby buildings, the filming went well.

This week, Ed has been editing and creating the music with Jack, whilst Jon and I have been researching the music and looking at the evaluation questions and familiarising ourselves with them, as there is little to do while waiting for Ed to finish editing.

Diary - Filming and Set Construction

This week and last, we have been filming the YouTube clip section of our opening sequence. For this, we went into the basement and constructed a set for the religious fanatic character's home, a sort of underground dingy squat. We placed a mattress on the floor and draped a dirty dust sheet over the window,  which served to cover the unsuitable window and make the room darker and allow for the extreme contrast lighting we used. I also chose my costume, which consists of a dark green flannel shirt, a large fur lined coat and dirty, paint covered trousers. This was designed to show the character's scruffy almost vagrant-like nature. I played the role of the religious fanatic, Joseph, which involved a lot of shouting in a dark room.
