Filming scene 1 part 1

These are some screenshots that I took from my footage of scene 1 part 1 in the hair and beauty section of Woods Browning, which I made to look like a hospital. I only used one camera in the end, although I had two more at my disposal. I only used one because I knew this was a very short scene and I could easily just create continuity easily. I didn't use my own camera, I used photography's Canon 5D mk II, which has 21 megapixels in relation to my 60D's 18 megapixels. I also used the department's Manfrotto tripod which had an excellent smooth head for tilting and panning, which I then mounted onto some wheels to create a smooth panning shot without having to set up a jib or track.

I was very pleased with the acting for this scene, as I though Derek did a fantastic job of dying because some actors can portray death very dramatically, but although quite dramatic, I thought it was a very cinematic moment which I thought worked really well with the intimate and close camera shots that I chose. I stuck to the storyboard slightly, but I also decided to experiment with focus pulling up the bed too. When it comes to the editing, I know that I might use as little as two shots for this scene, but having lots of footage is going to help if some of the shots I have aren't decent enough or I need more variation.
