Scene 1 - Filming

We arranged to meet our actors at 2pm at the location for the last shot of the scene, we made the conscious decision to film the last shot of the scene first as we wanted it to stand out from the others and to seem at bit off. We chose to convey this through the tight shot with the backdrop of a brick wall juxtaposing the previous green open shots. On top of this we hoped our chose to film it first would give the two actors took time for the chemistry to build between them so they would seem more natural together, giving off the impression that they were in fact in love in the previous shots chronologically in the film

We experienced a few problems getting the sound to work at first which held up the filming of the first shot, despite this, once we started everything went very smoothly with no problems apart from having to deal with a few passers by which was to be expected with filming in a public location.

We managed to finish filming the scene within 2 and a half hours getting every shot on our storyboard with the exception that we changed the pedalos shot to on a bridge as the pedalos were shut up because of the weather. However, it turned out for the better as the bridge which we had not noticed on our location scouting ended up being a very cinematic location.
