Fourth Day Filming

With filming now well under way, me and my main actor went out again to film some of the more crucial shots of the film. These shots are going to make up a montage that displays the character both taking advantage of the new ability he's discovers as well as him going ever more insane. The most important thing to consider for this was what were the best things the character could take advantage of. I decided that the best things he could do is steal from a shop, then a house and eventually a bank. This list is consists of both petty and serious crimes and depending on which they are send him more insane. Some ideas I may implement to show him growing further away from sanity is going into a women's changing room. When we went out filming, we managed to capture a lot of these scenes including the bank and the shop. Next time we go out we will finish up this montage by recording the house scene. Below are a few shots from this session.

    

New location

  

One of the benefits of changing the film from a fantasy to contemporary is that it opens up the opportunity to film in many more locations. The fantasy idea would have restricted me as built up areas would completely ruin the immersion, so I would have to stick to woodland and farms. After thinking, my new location was going to be in Woodstock Town Square, just down the road from the school. I chose this location due to its ease of access for all my actors and the fact that it represents a stereotypical middle class town. Its also not too busy which means interruptions will be kept to a minimum. Below is a few pictures of the areas within Woodstock I will be using.

The Location

As I am going to be making a fantasy film, making sure the location immerses the viewer in the world is important. After looking around I decided the best location to use would be a forest of some kind as it is hidden away and surrounded by natural scenery. As well as this, the majority of the short film will take place in a forest so it needs to be perfect. The best place to use which will work well and is most convenient is a wood a couple of miles from school. It's very closed off meaning there won't be many distractions or interruptions. On top of this there are quite a lot of clearings where the camp could be set up. Beneath are a few pictures of the forest showing how ideal it would be.
