We finished our second day of filming earlier today, which consisted of shooting the scenes involving the bedroom. This was done in Marwa's bedroom, as this was the most appropriate setting we had due to its neutral colours and generic look once I and tom removed all the furniture from it. The use of a pink bedspread stood out against the white walls, and with pink stereotypically being a popular female colour, we felt it represented Anna’s dominance over Tom, in that she gets her way on every detail. It easily offered enough space for us to get our required shots. Removing all the furniture proved a difficult task but we managed to hide everything effectively in order for it to not be seen in the shooting.
Once again we did not have a lighting kit and had to make do with the same lamps we had used at mine. We again successfully got all the shots we had hoped to get. The use of close ups we did give tom’s reactions when seeing Anna has cheated on him makes the audience focus more on his face, and gives the audience a sense of the shock he feels, which I think helps portray how he feels to the audience.
Using me as the man Anna is cheating on Tom with was an idea we had based on the fact that I am also in the band as the lead guitarist. The point of this was to emphasise the pathos the audience would feel towards Tom’s character, as even his close friends and band members are treating him like rubbish and doing stuff behind his back.
With this being the last of our filming over half term we just have to wait to get back to school and go over what is hopefully some very good footage!
