15th February media lesson - what we learned

During this session was our second day of filming at Bentley Road. On this day we made sure we were extra careful when it came to what time we had to be back at college and we re-took several shots on this day to make sure that we had most of the shots we needed to maintain continuity effectively throughout the thriller. There was one particular scene in our thriller where, if the ketchup wasn't already there, we would've struggled to take shots for it and that was the scene where Alex and Jolyon are on the floor dead and this shot wouldn't have worked without the ketchup because it wouldn't have looked shocking enough to be in our thriller. Basically if there was no ketchup in the fridge on that day it would've made us unable to film these shots, so what we learned from this is that it is important to make sure that you have all the things you need when you are trying to film a particular scene in a film because your film may not relate to its genre quite so well if you don't use them.
