Filming!

After sorting out our props and storyboard, we could then start filming in the next double Media lesson. This 2 hours would give us enough time to shoot all the parts for our preliminary Thriller without having to rush. As we had quite a lot of time for the filming, we thought more about the characters and also made some adjustments to our original plan/storyboard e.g. As well as deciding on creating a 'mid shot' of the boss (Myself) when telling the hit man to 'take the money and get out', someone from another group suggested using a 'low angle shot'. As a group we thought this was a good idea too because this shot would represent the 'boss' as being more powerful than the 'hit man' and this would fit in to our idea perfectly.

We used a free classroom to film and used the tables and chairs in that room. We also used some minor props that we borrowed e.g. the case we used to give to the hit man was borrowed from the Drama department. All these features would help add to the 'gangster' setting/atmosphere we hopefully portrayed.

We achieved what we hoped and more in the 2 hours that were provided by finishing the filming in 1 1/2 hours which meant we could upload our filming onto a computer, ready for us to edit the shots in the next double lesson.
