First Shoot

Due to technical difficulties involving the tripod, I was unable to film the static shots for my film. I did, however, make the most of the location, equipment and actor availability and film the handheld flashback sequences.

These shots are to be used throughout the film to show what happened when Peter killed his wife, and small excerpts of him covering up for his crimes.

The scenes work well as handheld shots, because they will only be shown in short flashbacks, edited at a fast pace, so the handheld style will add to the fragmented nature of the shots, and connote Peter's mixed emotions, fear and confusion over what is happening through the course of the film.

Work Update

The past week I have been preparing to shoot on the weekend.

I have gathered props, consulted actors as to when they are free and organised locations.

I went to the locations needed and looked at space available, lighting and other extraneous factors which could affect my filming, and thought about how I can avoid or accomodate these.

For example, the living room has direct sunlight from the back window in the morning, so I can film all scenes facing that direction later on.

I have also been fine-tuning my script, making slight changes where they were needed.
