FILMING: SEEK REVENGE Part2

Filming the outside scene for ‘Seek Revenge’ proved to be the hardest, I wanted to film when it was still light outside, so I could get better quality shot, but due to complication with the cast I had to film around 9. I filmed in a completely different location to the first scene, but because of the dramatic exit, it didn’t make the change in location obvious!... I tried different shots of him walking down the stairs and then opted for one shot that I did in the preliminary task where the camera panned as Robyn went up the stairs. I wanted a big number of boys to make it the sequence appear more dangerous, but only 6 of my friends could make it. I tried various shots of them, but since only one of them was an actor getting the rest to look natural was difficult. So I recorded the most successful parts when they thought the camera wasn’t on. I found the surroundings where good, as the area looked rundown, in the background there was a woman in a bath robe talking to a man, there where bins everywhere. Which I thought looked really good! A key part in the sequence is the blank screen with the boys fighting, I recorded various sounds as play where play fighting. Luckily enough there was a police car driving past the place we were filming, I thought even though I hadn’t planned this it would be a good representation of trouble and filmed it as it rushed past!

STORYBOARD Part2:SEEK REVENGE!

FILMING: SEEK REVENGE Part1

Filming 'Seek Revenge' was rather hard, as there are many factors that could determine whether or not I can produce a successful opening sequence, such as getting a full cast and the right lighting. I firstly selected the actors, that I thought best fitted the image. My friend Dakarai was an obvious choice as he had the 'look' I was going for, I thought his image best fitted the role, as the opening sequence is only two minutes long, I had to stereotype black boys in the short space given, and casted 8 other of my friends to play his friends outside of the flat he lives in. The first scene was filmed in my friend’s bedroom, I thought it would be ideal because, the mise-en-scene included lots of things usually connected to a teenage boy. The space was really small and really limited my ideas, however what was produced was really good! I made obvious changes from my storyboard but basically stuck to it. The camera was acting a bit difficult at first because it kept saying the video head needs to be cleaned but after that it was fine!
