Monday 08/06/09
After delaying last week, I've finally managed to get production underway. Today we spent the entire shooting time in T46 filming the middle section of the video. Including the meeting in which Michael Cole discovers who he'll be working with, the conversation between Michael and Jacob on the phone, checking everything is ready for the meeting the next day and the face-to-face conversation between Michael and Jacob before the meeting begins.
Filming went extremely well, managing to get almost the entirety of these sequences filmed within the 45 minute timing period allocated by Dan Creed. A very productive day and very responsive, understanding and hardworking acting group, with those watching in the background remaining quiet and out of shot, causing no problems to the shots or camera angles at all.
The camera angles used were predominantly eye level mid shots or close ups for the conversations between Jacob and Michael, representing Bradley in low angle shots to show off his immediate dominance despite being the new man.
I feel I've been pretty creative, not all of the angles match with those in the storyboards; I feel alterations made after seeing the set have been an advantage in regards to cinematography. The majority follow those in the initial plans.
My plan is to leave the opening fight scene until the last day of filming Wednesday (10/06/09)as this will be the trickiest and most complicated scene to film and the most tiring for the actors involved.
