CHANGE of office scene

On the day we had decided that the office scene would be better in a different room. So we had gained permission from the headteacher to use his office in our 2 minute opening he had agreed to this and let us use his room. By changing the room, we were able to have better angles in the opening and more of a office desk that the detective could use.

We had taken various images of the office while filming, when looking back of the clips the film was better in the headteachers office than using the connections room. The pro was the desk space, alot of folders so it had set the scene but the cons of using the office was that we had a time limitation but e worked well with the time.

The new office which we used this was the entrance of the door, we had to make sure we did not include the sign on he door in our film.

This is what would be the main area thats going to be shown in the scene. This is where Jamiul and Sana dicuss information about the victim. 

Jamiul telling Sana when she will walk in, Ruhan was standing in the side and was seen by sana so he had told her when to walk in.

We was trying to set the angle of the camera so it was not too zoomed in when Sana had walked past it.

We had decided in this part of the scene i would film over Sana shoulder when Jamiul was talking vice versa.

Filming for the outside scene

This is the part of the film where they would be a flashback of the girl that had been missing or murdered. When filming at this location there was a few inferences from the public as they were walking through so we had stopped and allowed them to walk through. When we had created practise runs we had made a few changes while we was working through the scene, this was mainly set on how the angles would be when myself or Ruhan were walking. We did not leave till all members of the group were happy with what was filmed.

In this photo we were discussing if filming form in front would be the best or filming from behind.

Setting angles in the office scene

When getting ready to record the office scene we had to find a room in the school that did not look too much like a class room. We had decided on a room to use, and we had decided how we was going to cover the displays on the walls by using blue borders, this had covered up most of the display which had come in to the scene. We had gained permission from the schools to use the boards.

We had decided to have a small practise in the room and see what camera angles and shots we would use while we was doing this we had taken images along the way.   

In this image we was trying to decide how we would have the angle when sana walks in to the room jamiul was showing me what we are trying to record when sana walks in and where she would walk.

Sana and Jamiul discussing how sana would walk in to the room and where she would walk up to, also wen she would be out of the camera's view.

Also being discussed how would she know when to come in as she can not stand directly in front of the door as the camera would be able to see her through the window so we decide that ruhan would stand in side in view of the window where he can see sana on the outside to let her know when to enter the room.  

Checking if the angle is right while recoding..

Setting the camera when sana will walk in to the room, the boys were setting the camera at different angles to see which shot would be the best.

The boards behind Ruhan and jamiul we had to make sure they were not shown while filming the scene

While acting the scene we had decide to change the script and small changes were made while doing the practice scene to see what would work out the best.  

While recording we had saw a small minor mistake that we had made, when recording one part of the scene the coke bottle was not there, than recoding the next part of the scene the coke bottle was put there, this had made us realise that we need to be more aware! while i was recording i did not even notice...

Ready set go!
