CONSTRUCTION: FILMING


We planned very carefully for the day that we decided to film, we had to be extremely prepared to make sure we stuck to the time frame and were able to get it all done. We were organised and ready to film having all our props and costumes and locations ready for filming. We started off by filming our most difficult scene first as we knew it would take the longest as it was a very complex and time consuming scene to film, with all the different shot types and angles. We filmed the actors walking out the door first from behind seeing them prepare for what they are about to walk into. We did not film in chronological order but in the order of what would take the longest so we knew how much time we had left. We used both an iPhone and a Canon camera throughout. We also used flashes from different cameras to add a realistic effect of paparazzi. 

After editing our green screen scene we sent this to our iPhones this allowed us to airplay this clip onto a TV when filming. This was very successful and helped make our scene look realistic and make it look like Blake really was watching TV in the comfort of her own home. We also filmed an up-close and personal scene of Blake and her daughter Zoey in the Childs bedroom reading a bedtime story together as they prepared for bed. We thought carefully of our mise-en-scene for this scene to make sure it looked like a Childs bedroom.

  1. Descriptive post about shooting several scenes. Brief reference to lighting effects to create paparazzi effect and to create child's bedroom setting. Understanding of how visual codes convey meaning to audiences. Reference to green screen editing of TV news scene.
