On our first day of re-shooting we decided to take on the shots which we had modified and improved from feedback which are set in the 'house' location and include the protagonist of the opening. The re-shoot required the main props seen in the 'modified props' blog post.
We decided to use the same camera and tripod that we used for our footage filmed for our first edit as this is the most effective set up along with a combination of natural and artificial lighting. As we had devised a to do list with improvements and a sufficient filming schedule we decided it would be effective to breakdown the storyboard into our filming schedule to ensure lighting was consistent in each location used in the opening.
On this filming session we found a few issues regarding continuity as we had to ensure the layout of the bedroom location and hallway was the same in all shots even when the tripod had to be repositioned to ensure angles and framing was effective.
The aim of the session was to reshoot the footage we had planned to improve and modify, we ensured the modified storyboard and script were easy to follow and could influence interesting shots and framing. The lighting and layout problems were fixed easily allowing myself and Chloe to complete the filming of the first and last scenes after we had identified improvements to be made to our first draft.
The filming session took place in my own bedroom as this location was the most effective in terms of mise-en-scene. As the character of Kathleen is portrayed as an average teenage girl it was essential that we captured this in the opening. The costume of the character was as orginally planned to compliment the character's position in society. The reshoot allowed us to test various new angles and framing to achieve both an easy to follow and interesting narrative paired with unique visuals.
During the filming session we finished the first and last scene of the opening and ensured the to do list points for these scenes were ticked off to ensure editing could commence as quickly as possible before gathering more footage required.
