Second Shoot Evaluation

On Saturday 22nd November at 8am our group met at Alex Days house to shoot the main scene of our opening sequence. We had to film in his garage.

The scene starts of with Brick (Justin Bishop) and Jimmy (Alex Day) entering the garage with Big Tony(Alex Fermor) kidnapped in the garage. We had to film Brick and Jimmy opening the garage from the outside and closing the garage on the inside. We already had a problem. Alexs car was infront of the garage which was not on the story board so we had to wait for his Dad to move the car. Instead of wasting time we decided to shoot the second scene. We were shooting for the edit. We took plenty of shots from all sorts of angles so we will have plenty to edit and it may mean we won't need any reshoot anything else.

We were going to put make up on Tony to make himlook as though he has been beaten up. We were also planning on making blood so it lookslike he was bleeding but before the shot, Alex Fermor got a nose bleed so we decided to keep that and film it. It was cheap and looked good.

At the end of the scene we needed to kill Tony. This involved swinging a golf club around his head but this could seriously injure him so we had to find a way of bypassing this and edit it to show that this was done in real time. The only way we knew of making this seem real was to film it slowly and then speed it up while editing. We did think about using a dummy but we figured that this would be expensive and we didn't have one on the day so we passedon that idea.
