Day 1 of Filming the Final Piece

We began filming without any extras, just so we wouldn't have to keep people waiting when there were scenes with just one character in. So we decided to film Jake's (lonely boy) vomit scene and then see how we could tweak it on Jake's editing software, just to test out a few things.


This, is what we are using for the vomit scene, after several Google searches, we realised that the common  ingredients for fake sick were ingredients we didn't have, so we began looking for something that wouldn't taste too bad (Jake would have to have this in his mouth) and looked convincing. After rummaging through his cupboard we came across some soup that had enough variety of vegetables in it to look believable. This scene is vital, we all felt we really needed it to look professional otherwise it gives audiences the wrong first impression.


I know I have used this image before to illustrate our use of the lighting, however, this image also shows Jake about to be sick and now has context. We wanted to have the light hanging over him to help us with the editing process later on, and in this shot we just used a birds-eye shot over him.














This next shot helped us make the realisation that it would be difficult to use the tracking shots that we had wanted to use, however this one, worked well. It will hopefully be used as the credits appear on screen, while noises of Jake being sick can be heard. The two lamps were used here to ensure that there were no shadows on the door from Ben. I am confident that this shot will be used as it has many uses even if in the end we don't want to use it as we plan too, it could make a good ending shot too.

I believe that the shots taken today were successful and will be in the final product. We were certain that we had picked the right location and costumes, so I am comfortable with these scenes being used later on. However we have only just filmed the very beginning we need to get the party and extras in to commence with Day 2's shooting, hopefully after that we can film all Alex's bits on Day 3, two days after Day 2.
