Filming Day: 4

As we forgot to film an important scene that takes place in school during day 3 we needed to finish the school filming today finally. The purpose of this scene is to show Shauns aggressive and violent personality, by his physical altercation with another student in a corridor. Sam filmed both shots in this sequence. One being a wide shot of Shaun hiding behind a corner of a wall waiting for another character to pass by. This shot took a few takes as we needed to postion the actors correctly and give keys for when they needed to complete certain actions as they couldn' see each other being blocked by a wall. We needed to make it look fast and fluid to seem more realistic and so Sam operated the camera whilst me and James signaled the actors to move.

The next shot was changed last minute for a better option but originlly was supposed to be a two shot of Shaun and the other character up against the wall from the side to show Shaun punching him, however we couldn't make this seem realistic and we didnt want them to make contact with each other incase of injury. Luckily James proposed the idea that Sam stand against the wall giving a point of view from the victim and Tom should punch towards the lens of the camera, or the victims face. Tom was unable to punch fast or accruately enough and so we got him to do it slower and we will speed this shot up during editing.
