Filming 02/02

As we gained feedback from our first filming session, it made our second filming session much more productive than our first. We knew what shots we needed allowing us to spend less time discussing what we were doing, and more time filming. We specifically tried to focus on filming using different angles, especially low angles to connote the females significance in the opening. However, as the female character mainly stays in the same place throughout the opening, we found it quite difficult to think of ways we could show her as a dominant character. We used many close ups and long shots of her to increase her on-screen time, which ultimately connotes importance and dominance. However, we realised that as our other actors were not available to film, there was not the diegetic sound of the men playing pool and talking. We attempted to create the sounds, however we felt that it would sound much better with the actual male actors. On the other hand, we considered using non-diegetic sound accessed from copyright free websites, however we are undecided on what option we are going to take as of yet, meaning we will experiment with both ways and evaluate them to see what is best.
