Filming

This is our third lesson. Today we filmed our thriller. When we started out we already found a problem and that was that during the week we had asked the P.E. department in our school if we could borrow their storage cupboard for our thriller as it had the right visual aspects for the setting of our thriller. We needed a fairly dark room that at least looked cold. However, the P.E department did not allow us to film in their storage cupboard. Fortunately, we found another storage cupboard within the school that was just right for the setting of our thriller. There were a few minor changes made to the dialogue by Dougie who played our antagonist. It was originally planned that dougie would say "Tell me or I'll kill you!". However it was changed to "Say it!" as he hands James a piece of paper and points a video camera to his face. There is then no replie and Dougie shouts his line again, whilst shoving James. Jame's line was also changed from just screams to "I'm a hostage!". I think that these changes to the dialogue will improve the whole outcome of the video as I believe that this dialogue is better than the original.
The filming mostly went smoothly. There are a couple of outtakes but they will be edited out in the edditing stage which will happen in our next lesson.
