After looking at everything that we filmed the last two sessions, RLNC decided that we had a few things that we needed to re-film as some shots didn’t turn out how we expected and also the lighting in the house was too dark. We also had to film the fighting scene and the washing of hands. Originally RLNC and the cast planned to start filming at 6pm, we planned on getting everything completed by around 8pm, as we didn’t have a lot to do this was a realistic target. Unfortunately a few people were running late, causing us to have to start filming an hour later, this meant we would finish a lot later than we planned.
Once everyone had finally arrived, it was time to start filming.One of the main problems we had at our last filming session was lighting, as Olu’s house lights were extremely dim when we watched what we had filmed it was too dark and we could hardly see what was happening on screen. This time we wanted to make sure our lighting was perfect, so in order to achieve this we used tea lights and a lamp to make the room a little lighter, this also helped 2 create romantic effect for the phone call scene.After the last filming session we realised that the camera was a bit tilted during some of the filming, so this time we ensured that all shots were aligned straight and that all shots were steady. As we were now more experienced with the camera we were able to get alot of different shots for each clip.
In previous filming sessions we had problems with the camera battery going dead, so this time we made sure we had a spare battery with us. This worked in our favour, as our battery did die but thankfully we had the spare one, so we were able to carry on filming as normal. We managed to successfully film everything that was needed by around 9:30pm. We are all extremely pleased with what we achieved in our last filming session, and also relieved that we have now completed all of our filming. Thanks to all the help, time and cooperation of RLNC and the cast.
In this filming session i contributed by filming the washing of the hands scene where i shot a range of different shots including a bird's eye view shot (aerial shot), over the shoulder shot, point of view shot and a close up. I found this challenging as i am quite short and i had to stand on the bath and hold the shot steady without a tripod and without being seen in the mirror and still get a good shot when filming for example the over the shoulder shot and the bird's eye view shot. I also filmed a bit of the fighting scene between Alicia (Juliet) and Shaniqua (Christina) at one angle. This became very tedious as people were losing focused and shouting at eachother so it was very difficult to direct and film at the same time. We had to shoot this scene numerous times as the heads of the characters kept getting cut up. Also i filmed the last scene were Jermaine (Toba) is sitting on the stairs and delivering the last line "The things you do for love". This was quite challenging to film as it was difficult to shoot on the stairs at and angle and get his head in the i did a bird's eye view of his bloody hands. It was difficult to get a clean steady shot as i had to tip toe and get a steady hand. Overall i feel this filming session was successful and it was less stressful as we didn't have much to do and we have been through the filming process twice before so we learnt from our mistakes.
