Filming Diary #3 [Keelan]

During our filming at Location 2, we had to be very careful to not break anything or trip on any wires such as the wire for the red head lights.

To prepare for filming, we had to move several pieces of furniture out of the way, such as a sofa, a large wall painting and several other items.

(The smoke machine)

-As seen in the picture, we used a smoke machine to create an atmosphere of a room in which there had been heavy smoking going on.

-When using the smoke machine it did become very hot after a prolonged period of time, therefore we placed it on a pair of heavy duty fireproof gloves to prevent the carpet being burnt of damaged. We also used gloves to move it when needed and was very careful when near it to prevent any damage to a member of the group.

-As well as using the tripod to film, we recorded parts of it freehand to gain some angles that we would not be able to obtain that easily using a tripod.


This evening of shooting our film was rather a long one as we started at around 9pm, and finished just past midnight. The reason for this is because we needed there to be no natural light at all, allowing us to communicate to the audience that it is clearly the night time.
