Intentions:
To shoot the following scenes, ensuring continuity:
Scenes 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21 and parts of 22.
Filming Description:
Tonight we shot the remainder of the interior shots for the film. We began from scene 13 where we see John breaking down after Sarah walks out of the house. The scene is crucial to how the film develops to the climactic ending and Matt really needed to get into character, which he did very convincingly. This scene employed mainly handheld shots with sporadic zooms and focus. We also shot the ending to the film, where we see Matt leaving the house after a very shot intensive scene where he finds Ben’s address in Sarah’s diary. This involved a lot of ambient lighting as Matt was rushing from room to room and I needed to ensure the continuity between scenes and rooms. Scene 16 and onwards utilised handheld shots more exclusively and the shots were designed to convey the mood of the tension building up.
Finally we wrapped up all of the interior shots for the film and began shooting the exterior shots; because of the time we wrapped up the interiors (1am), the streets outside were quiet and empty of both people and cars.
These shots show Matt leaving the house and, as we perceive, going to Ben’s house to get Sarah back and because of the time we shot at, this allowed the shots to convey the sense that the timing was accurate and realistic.
Success:
This evening’s shoot was a great success as we were all prepared for how rapid the shoot would develop, while using the time with the cast as productively as I could to make most of the time we had to shoot. By this stage, I was trying to follow my creative intentions as closely as possible and it was during the shoot where these intentions really started to come across in the footage.
With all of the exterior shots finished, I just had a few exterior shots to shoot. Stay tuned!
