Filming Diary (Ellie Boyle)

2nd March 2017-
On the 2nd we decided that we would begin filming at the restaurant (Pizza Express). We had already planned out what we were going to do so therefore, we could begin filming right away. The first part we filmed was the husband and wife within the booth eating their pizzas. We used the schools cameras and tripod to record our film as we believed for our mainstream institution high end cameras and quality would need to be seen throughout our filming. We believed going to an actual restaurant would make our film well rounded and not as gritty as doing it at home ourselves, as you wouldn't see this in high production values and the big six but instead the independent institutions. We recorded our first establishing shot on this day also on the top of the multistory car park in Chelmsford town at sunset. However, we decided to re do this shot of the sunset again at a later date as it just wasn't quite right.

On the 9th the first thing we did was reset up the camera on the multistory and rerecorded the establishing shot at sunset so the filming was smoother as it overlooked the sky. Following this, we then went back to pizza express to touch up on our filming recording some parts again and finishing of the scene of the husband getting the bill and him opening the doors as they leave after one of our criticisms of our rough cuts to improve our opening was making sure the heads weren't cut out of the shot as they leave the restaurant. We then went on to the station to record the scene where the husband and the mistress meet the station was busy and it took us a while to wait for the trains to come in, all the people to get off and leave the station so we could gain the vulnerable shot of the mistress on her own looking around trying to find the male who looks smug as he walks towards her.

We recorded the wife walking around the corner at the station looking at the husband and the mistress in astonishment as he said he was going to meet the lads.
