Filming scene 3

These are some screenshots that I took from my footage of scene 2 in the Hair and Beauty department at Woods Browning, which I made to look like a hospital, shot in the same bed, with the same lighting as  scene 1 part 1 to really link the two characters together. I used three cameras for the dialogue parts, one on the brother in the hospital bed, one on the child, one on both of them. I used media's 600D, my 60D and Photography's 5D mkII in this set up. I also ran the dialogue through about four times, twice with this set up and then twice with different angles but focused on different actors. This helps to create a perfect continuity during the flow in speech and also gives me plenty of footage to play with. I used three tripods, one on wheels with a very smooth head and two static ones that don't have as smooth panning or tilts on each. This means that I only used one camera for all the movement, so I prioritised which camera is the best and used it for this, so the 5D mk II went on the Manfrotto tripod on wheels.

You may recognise some of these shots from my storyboard, but I also added a few more that I though I might need for editing. There wasn't much variation in camera shots when filming this scene, as I really wanted to focus more on the dialogue and acting rather than the fancy camerawork and interesting angles. This scene is a powerful one, and I wanted to make the most out of it. I thought the actors did quite well, but I wished that they had really tried to learn their lines in advance, however I feel it went to plan and the footage I have looks good, sharp and professional, which I think was tough to achieve because this is definitely the hardest scene to film and will be to edit too.
