Today, our group planned to film the first flashback the character experiences through the film. This was an important scene, so it was imperative that we planned each shot, the location was correct and that we had all the props as we didn't want to compromise the scene. As we were filming by roadside, we made sure that certain precautions were taken so that we could avoid injury and so that no shots could be ruined by cars driving past so that we could maximise time and do as little re-takes as possible.
For the first flashback, our anti-hero is overseeing a drug-deal between two people, for this scene, we chose a quiet roadside next to a secluded alley as we believed it was an appropriate place that a meeting of this sort could take place. As the scene starts, we begin with a close-up of the anti-hero to instantly establish that the scene directly involves him. We move on to show an extreme long-shot of the client meeting the dealer to show the distance between the anti-hero and the deal taking place. Overall, we have used several techniques while filming to create an interesting and visually appealing scene. For instance, for the final shot we have used a point of view shot of the client getting punched in the face to demonstrate his view in the scene to give a multi-perspective feel to the scene. We have used a mixture of low and high angle shots to show off the different powers between characters and also to show off the location so that audience could feel immersed in the scene.
We are now planning to film the second flashback, storyboarding it and planning the best location to bring out the scene. I believe we are well on our way to creating a fully fledged short film.
