Filming Day: 3

Filming day 3 took place on the 11th of January 2016. This was only a short filming session that took place down an alley at the side of  the school. In the narrative this scene takes place when Shaun is returning home from school one day, and its where he is first introduced to drug dealing.

Sam Warren started off the filming with a wide pan shot of Shaun entering the alley where the drug dealer is standing, hood up against the wall, hiding his face in case any one he knows notices him.  The only problem with this shot, like a few others, was pedestrians walking passed whilst we were filming, which just required us to wait a few minutes. The reason for waiting was because they were captivated by and paid too much attention to the camera, which broke the fourth wall.

I followed this by filming the next shot, which was a two shot of the drug dealer and Shaun. The drug dealer blocks Shauns path as he makes his way down the alley. I made the error of starting filming too early and giving the signal for the actors to go, which doesn't give us enough room to edit around so we decided to re-shoot.

James continued on with the scene filming an over the shoulder shot of the drug dealer asking Shaun if he has it in him to work for and live the life of a dealer. This shot probably took the longest to film as we needed to wait and stop recording everytime the actors started laughing. Tom, playing Shaun, had trouble remembering his line in the next over the shoulder shot that Sam filmed but eventually he got it and with this we wrapped day 3 of filming.
