Filming 15/03

As the deadline was approaching, it was essential for us to have all filming completed by the Tuesday evening, allowing us to edit and finish our product completely over the week. Using the feedback which we received from the teacher, we discussed new shots we could add in, and changes we could make to our previous shots. As it's essential for the female character to appear much more dominant and authoritative than other characters in a Film Noir, we paid close attention to the angles and distances we shot from. We used many low angles throughout to connote her authority, and a variety of close ups to allow the audience to further recognise the females power. However, whilst focusing on the female character, it was also necessary to focus on the male character as well, as the shots of the male connote his weakness. To allow the female to appear more supreme than the male throughout, we made sure that the male was never shot using a high angle, and if he was he would still be much lower than the female, causing her to look down on his weakness and lack of power. After filming, we began to edit the next day and luckily once edited, our footage came to 2.10 minutes, meaning that we had an appropriate amount of footage. Whilst experimenting with our shots, we decided to add in dissolves before the black screen, and during a POV of the female; we felt that using this transition it connoted the females dominance even more, and made the ending to our production look much better, as it didn't simply end on a cut to a black screen.
