Filming the extra scene

When filming the extra scene I took many different shots in different angles to ensure I had enough footage to work with come the editing process. The footage took around 10 minutes to shoot and the only actor involved was Zak Douglas-the Detective. The scene aimed to show the inner conflict within the detective and his personal emotions towards the case, this so as to engage audiences better to the character and see him as a real person and relatable. In the scene the detective is shown to be drinking some form of alcohol from a hip flask, whilst reviewing the different aspect of the case, after looking at the locket with pictures of his deceased wife and daughter in them, he turns violent and pushes all of the equipment off the desk. I used various shot angles to make sure that the footage could be cut and edited to match the different view points I wanted, I also used different zooming effects on the piece so that I had a variety of close-ups and long shots to work with. The hardest part of the filming on this day was to ensure that the setting was dressed appropriately to give viewers the idea that the detective is in an office setting. With this in mind it was hard to film any more shots after the items on the desk had been pushed off by the detective, therefore we left this shot until last to ensure we had all the important footage first, and so that there is continuity between the shots. After shooting this footage I uploaded it onto the Apple Macs and onto iMovie to have a better look at the filming I had done.
