Above is the scene we filmed today. Following feedback that our previous bar scene was poor, we went back to the drawing board.
My role on the day
-To compensate for taking a lead role on previous shoots, I did not film most of the shots this time round.
-Instead, I was director. I described how I envisaged each shot and described what the plan of action for the day was. I had the final word on whether a shot was right or not. Using the shot list, I ensured all shots were performed and took on the role of optimising proficiency through bouncing ideas off one another.
-Having created the shot list myself, I ran through each shot before it was filmed (especially the shots with movement) before Ben or Jack filmed them.
Successes
-Unable to film with our actor, I created a shot list utilising the concept of the POV shot. All POV shots were executed well, with no camera shake, and at appropriate eye level by Jack.
-The lighting in all the shots made each rush look even better. Further utilised in colour grading, the scene has a very warm feeling.
-Visual motifs and mies-en-scene. The mis-en-scene in this scene is particularly good, caused by the authenticity of location. Furthermore, the ending transition from the 'WARNING' sign to the back of the self-designed numberplate are visual motifs for the rebellious nature of the girl and funk conventions respectively.
Even better if
-It would have been even better if Martha had been able to film, but I believe using POV shots deems definite camera excellence.
