Meeting #6

Our first proper shooting meeting. During this meeting we found some really good places to shoot around the forest. We made many mistakes, but just kept on recording the same shot over and over again, until we were satisfied with it. I was in charge of the camera for this scene, and Alex and Daniel were acting out the scene. We discoverd a high up tree and I decided to film through the branch to get a higher up shot of Alex and Daniel walking. This took a couple of hours, definitely longer than we had expected. When filming we had to be very patient, as many people were walking their dogs in our area, so it took longer. 

When filming this scene, we changed our story a little, as we found new things to do. I am very happy overall with the outcome of this forest detective scene. After filming this forest scene, we went straight to the office to film right away, making sure we had everything with us, we then set it up and then began to shoot. We decided to get a close-up of the article coming out of the printer, to create some diagetic sounds within our opening sequence. We also panned across a whole load of other articles about "missing people" so that it would strongly show the audience that these are important detectives and that there job is to find the missing people, and solve the crimes.

                                                                                  I then filmed the detectives walking into the office, and also filmed shots of them getting ready. My group used a variety of close-ups and medium shots but not so many long shots as we don't think they make as much of a big impact. One long shot of the detectives suit is probably enough. 

To end the scene, me and my group decided to have the sound of the door closing, but we had it as a sound bridge instead, we did this by having the detective pin up the article, and while filming the article pinned up, the audience hear the sound of the door, but don't actually see what the detectives are going to  do next,which raises ideas and
questions in the audience's head.
