Preliminary: Filming

As a group we started filming, we checked the story board to know where to start. We decided to go through the story board chronologically, so we got a camera and a tri-pod and set up outside. I was filming and Tom Hall was the Actor playing as the agent, the filming went well but getting use to moving the camera to pan was quite difficult at the start, so we needed to take a few takes to perfect the the opening shot. After we where outside, we started filming in the corridor. The story board said we needed to track, but as we did not have tracks to move the camera on. I filmed Tom as he walked down the corridor, using the camera hand held, this also added to the feel of the setting and scenario. For the shot of Tom opening the door was quite simple, just two close shot of the handle from both sides making the shots flow. For the conversation scene we filmed both characters separate, running through the script twice. Lastly the handover of the package we filmed the scene several times in different angles so we had more footage to edit and choose what looks better.
