Filming Day Seven

We planned for this day to get the majority of out filming completed. Firstly we shot the scene in which the protagonist is taking an exam. We shot this footage at school and used props such as pens and paper. We shot this scene from a variety of different angles so that we could edit the sequence in such a way that would reflect the character's stress.

We then filmed Molly listening to music in school. We changed her costume for these scenes so that it would appear to be a different day. We also shot each clip from the same angle as we plan to edit the clips together into a montage sequence.

After this we shot the scenes of the character jogging in a forrest. For this we travelled to Newbottle Woods. We changed Molly's costuming and hair for this scene, to show that she is exercising. We shot a variety of different angles of the protagonist running towards a sunset. We also shot a scene of her listening to music with the same shot types as we had in earlier earphone clips.

We then shot the character scratching out initials from a tree at the same location. For this scene we filmed a variety of angles of the character coming across the tree, then proceeding to scratch at the initials using her car keys.

Later in the day we filmed Molly and myself drinking alcohol. We filmed this at Lucy's house and used canted angles and fast camera movements to correspond with the intoxication of the characters. We also filmed myself and molly putting on makeup before the scene to present us as getting ready to go out.

Finally, we filmed Molly revising for her exams. To shoot this we used a light box to at the forefront of the image to display the countdown until the exams. We kept the camera in exactly the same position and shot a series of small clips. In each clip the countdown changed, displaying that the character was getting closer and closer to having to sit her final exams. In each scene we increased the amount of paper and books in front of Molly and also changed her costume, hair and makeup in order to present time progressing.
