Filming 16/02

Due to our first actress being ill we had to change the actresses, and whilst making this change we decided to change some of our shots as well. We thought it was a risky decision, but felt that with a much more sturdy shot list and plan we'd be able to work much quicker and more effectively. We varied our location and had less shots in the same place as we didn't want the audience to lose interest. We paid close attention to angles, as they are very significant in Film Noir genres, as they connote the importance and status of the characters. As our male actors were unable to attend we had to change our shooting plan slightly as we intended to shoot most of their shots. We decided to shoot the majority of the female characters shots, as this meant that we didn't waste our session, and that we could postpone the male actors filming for another time. Another aspect of the opening we decided to change was our props; we were first using cigarettes throughout the opening to iconically represent the females boisterous attitude, however we felt that a glass of wine created a more elegant atmosphere whilst still allowing the female to appear dominant and powerful.
