To continue our reshoots we decided to shoot the scenes of 'The Exchange' which involves our actress Sophie. We decided to make the character of 'Geraldine' appear more casual to the public as her occupation is an intelligence agent. To ensure this came across on screen we used 'Millie' her pet dog in the scene to give her character a more low-key disguise. We also decided to utilise a casual costume that would portray the character as inconspicious and an average member of the community visiting the park.
When filming these scenes we decided to utilise the park location with a bench giving the scene another prop which is relevant to the plot and enahnced framing and set dressing. As our narrative utilises the park location in the tape's journey montage we decided to film when lighting was similar in those shots.
As before we used a tripod as this ensures the camera was steady giving a good quality shot. The placement of characters and props was effective throughout which prevented any negative aspects of the reshoot session however, weather proved a difficult point when watching the shoots back. (This was dealt with in post editing). We decided to illustrate the working realtionship of the character who do not explicitly share a friendship but are known to be companions in some form. The placement of the character and varied shots portrays the distance of the characters as they are not physically close and sit on opposite sides of the park bench demonstrating the lack of emotional connection.
The shots were mostly seamless to film but we still decided to complete test shots as we were experimenting with pans and tilts to find the best composition of shots. The reshooting session was only difficult in terms of audio in two shots which was an element we could not change, other than this myself and Chloe both found the session to be successful and a good learning curve.
