This is a screen grab from the first day of filming. Overall, it was a successful shooting day and we managed to get half of our most complicated scene covered. We encountered several problems for example lighting. At first the lighting was perfect - we had natural day light as well as the artificial lighting but when it got late and darker, we lost all ambient light. Seeing as we only had one lamp that was on the right hand side, it put the scene off balance by lighting up only half of our scene. When shooting side shots from the left hand side we had no light and we couldn't see ADEELs face. This became a problem as we were often using shot reverse shots so we needed to overcome this. I put a daylight lamp a few meters away from ADEEL so it wouldn't light him up too much. This gave the right amount of light that was needed to be able to see ADEEL.
This shot in particular was my favourite. I set up the scene by placing props on a table to make it seem like they had been sitting there for a while. This was done by placing bottles, ash trays, keys, wallets to make it seem as natural as possible. I got the actors to 'live' in the space for a while before i filmed so they could familiarise themselves with the set hence forth being more realistic and natural. Fortunately we had a lot of space to move around giving us the opportunity to use various shots.
In terms of sound we used a mirantz and a boom mic. This was ideal for our style of filming because we're using a lot fast action shots meaning the boom is able to move around and follow the action.
