Filming Day 2 (09/06/09)

Tuesday (09/06/09)

Didn't do too much filming today as not a whole lot more was required without filming the fight scene. Which is something I considered filming today as we ended up having a lot of time lazing around and talking between shoots. But unfortunately the cloudy weather persisted and didn't want to risk taking the PD150 camera outside with the potential for rainfall and having to refilm tomorrow.

Finished shooting the conversations between Michael and Jacob using more of the same Mid shots and close ups and filmed any walking sections in the corridor. We also shot the whole final scene in the corridor when Michaels' emotional pain comes to its' final conclusion.

The initial plan for this scene was for Michael to point the 'finger gun' and to move the camera around to Bradley o the other side of the corridor. When it came to filming, Lewis suggested that he simply walked up to the gun and make a speech daring Michael to pull the trigger.

Kudos to Lewis as, after watching the tape back, this appears a lot more effective. A real close final encounter between the two who hate each other the most. Using close ups and an unsteady camera makes the scene feel very gritty and realistic.

Tomorrow will be the fight scene outside and filming will finally be finished.
