Filming Day 1

On Monday we filmed part of our opening for the first time, this scene was the staffroom scene. We had previously arranged to use the school staffroom but as we were not able to use it we compromised and used a study room, but rearranged it to make it look like a staffroom. We had very good mise-en scene and the final product replicated a hospital staff room very well. We used props such as medical posters and books, coffee mugs, a notice board and medical props such as sanitiser. I feel we overcame the problem very well.

Another problem we had was one of our actors arriving quite late, we overcame this by working harder after they arrived. We got the filming for this scene in done in less than an hour and we planned the time very well. We went in before the actors were arriving to set up the scene to the best ability and so we were ready to film straight away.

Overall I think the filming went very well and was very efficient. We created a very good scene and the actors delivered their lines very well. I think once edited this scene will work well with the rest of the opening.

These are some of the props we used.
