Changes Made During the Filming Process

During filming we found some difficulties with shooting certain shots and angles due to the sudden change in location so we had to think quickly and improvise with the location, equipment and props we have.

Miscommunication of ideas:  The storyboard shows Arthur with a bag over his head, but we had to change this because further on in our storyboard we had a point of view of Arthur looking out the front of the car. This shot would just have been a black screen if we did it with the bag on his head and we agreed as a group that the point of view had to be included, so we decided to scrap the idea of a bag.

Shots 1 to 3 Continuity:  These are filmed as one continuous shot to help with continuity and for ease of editing.

Shot 5 Shot change:  This was originally meant to be a point of view from Agent Ryder's perspective (Me) but we have changed it to Arthur's P.O.V to show the surrounding more and the status of both agent Riley and agent Ryder. We also chose to do it like this as the point of view from agent Ryder didn’t seem to have a meaning.

Shot 6 Miscommunication of ideas: The shot is the same but without a bag on Arthur's head for the reason mentioned earlier.

Shot 11 location/practicality: We have kept the over the shoulder shot but changed the positioning of it because there was not enough space in marks garage (which wouldn’t have been a problem if we didn’t have a sudden change of location). So now the shot is filmed in front of Arthur not behind him.

 Shots 20- 27 practicality/mistakes: this sequence of shots is different to what is on the storyboard because there was a miscommunication between the 3 actors whilst Agent Ryder and Agent Riley were dragging Arthur up the drive. On top of this the angles of some shots were meant to be at a high angle and we also wanted to introduce jump cuts between these shots, but we couldn’t do this as we only had one take to film this car sequence due to the impracticality of doing this.

Another issue we faced when we came to the filming day was lighting. We couldn't find anything powerful enough to light up the room effectively and dimly so the camera could pick up a picture. We instead had to settle for the garage lights to be turned on but in doing so as a group we discussed it and on screen it creates a good Mise-en-scene.
