The document summarizes the first stage of filming for a student film project. It describes how the actors were selected and costumes planned at a friend's house. Several scenes were filmed there on the day, including one in the garden of a villain pointing a gun at a victim. Additional scenes were filmed using a CCTV camera effect and of items on a glass table, though some shots need refilming to improve quality.

First stage of filming:
 ON THIS DAY WE MET FOR THE FIRST TIME TO FILM. WE
GOT TOGETHER THE ACTORS THAT WE HAD SELECTED
FROM THE AUDITIONS AND MET AT A FRIENDS HOUSE TO
FILM SOME DIFFERENT SCENES AND SHOTS. WE TOO
USED THIS DAY TO TAKE PICTURES FOR OUR MAGAZINE
AND POSTER. WE MET AT APPROXIMATELY 2PM AND
CONTINUED FILMING UNTIL 5PM. ON THIS DAY I WAS THE
DESIGNATED FILMER AND WE USED A CANON EOS 1100D
TO RECORD OUR FOOTAGE. WE ASKED OUR ACTOS TO
COME IN THE COSTUME THAT WAS APROPRIATE TO
THEIR CHARACTERS, WE HAD PLANNED THIS BEFORE
HAND AND CAREFULLY THOUGHT THROUGH WHICH
CLOTHING WOULD BEST SUIT THE ROLES BEING
PLAYED.

First stage of filming:
 THIS PARTICULAR SHOT WAS FILMED IN THE GARDEN OF
A HOUSE. WE WENT TO THE BACK AND LAY NANA DOWN
ON THE FLOOR MAKING HIM LOOK LIKE A VICTIM. OUR
VILLAIN CHARACTER WALKED TOWARDS HIM WITH A
GUN AND THE CAMERA FOLLOWED HIM AS HE WENT BY.
THERE IS NO DIALOGUE IN THIS SHOT AS IN THE FINAL
TRAILER THERE WILL MOST PROBABLY BE A VOICE
OVER EXPLAINING THE ACTION FURTHER. WE FILMED
DURING THE DAY SO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE
NATURAL LIGHT. WE FILMED THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF
ACTION A FEW TIMES SO AS TO CAPTURE IT FROM
DIFFERENT ANGLES AND USING DIFFERENT CAMERA
SHOTS.

First stage of filming:
 WE USED A PAN TO THE RIGHT TO SHOW THE WHOLE OF
THE VICTIMS BODY AND TO ALSO SHOW THE MOVEMENT
OF THE VILLAIN TOWARDS HIS VICTIM. THIS STOPPED
THE CAMERA FROM BEING TOO STATIC, AS IF THE
CAMERA REMAINED IN THE SAME PLACE THE WHOLE
TIME THE AUDIENCE WOULD MOST PROBABLY GET
BORED. ONE THING WE REGRET IS NOT FILMING A SHOT
FROM THE VICTIM LOOKING UP TO THE VILLAIN AT THE
GUN. WE FEEL THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO ADD
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE TO THE SCENE, WE WILL
CONSIDER THIS WHEN FILMING AGAIN AND WILL DO A
WIDER VARIETY OF SHOTS OF THE SAME PIECE OF
ACTION.

First stage of filming:
 WHILEST FILMING I NOTICED THAT THE HOUSE WE
WERE FILMING IN HAD A CCTV SYSTEM. WE THEN HAD
THE IDEA TO FILM A SCENE THROUGH A CCTV SYSTEM
EFFECT SO AS TO MAKE IT SEEM AUTHENTIC AND ADD A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF VIEWING FOR THE AUDIENCE. IT
DEMONSTRATES CLEARLY TO THE AUDIENCE THAT A
CRIME IS OCCURING AND WITH THE EXCHANGE OF
BAGS IT IS QUITE EVIDENT WHAT THE CRIME ACTUALLY
IS. ONCE AGAIN IN THIS SCENE THERE IS NO DIALOGUE
AND THEREFORE A VOICE OVER WILL MOST PROBABLY
BE USED TO KEEP THE TRAILER MOVING ALONG. FOR
THE FINAL TRAILER THIS PIECE OF ACTION WILL BE CUT
DOWN TO FORM A RANGE OF QUICK SHOTS DEPICTING
THE CRIME OF THE VILLAIN.

First stage of filming:
 TO FILM THIS SHOT WE USED WHITE BAKING FLOUR AND
POSITIONED IT ON THE TABLE AS THOUGH IT WAS
DRUGS, ALONGSIDE CIGARETTES, LIGHTERS, AND BANK
CARDS. THIS SHOT WOULD BE SPED UP AND USED IN A
QUICK SHOT TO DEMONSTRATE HIS LARGE
ASSOSCIATION WITH THE DRUG SCENE. AFTER FILMING
WE REALISED IT WAS NOT SENSIBLE TO HAVE FILMED
ON A GLASS TABLE AS THE CARPET CAN BE SEEN
THROUGH. THIS A SCENE THAT WE WOULD MOST
PROBABLY RE FILM. THE CAMERA QUICKLY PANS TO THE
RIGHTS BUT IT IS NOT STEADY TO GIVE A SENSE OF
RUSH.
