Construction post 5:The Back-up Shoot

A back up shoot was needed for the house scene shots. We couldn't have one for our school scene shots as our main shoot had to be re-scheduled. Many of those shots needed re-taking because of several framing/continuity errors or just that the shot did not work with our storyline anymore.
Below are some of our main shoot shots contrasted with our back up shoot shots.

1) Putting on jacket shot- because the framing was too close up for the split screen and we had too many shots taking place in the bathroom, so needed some variation

2) Walking out the front door shot-Arthur should say "Bye mum" before opening the front door not after so that it would be easier to edit the match on action of opening the house front door with the walking into the school shot. Framing also needs to be panned more to the left to show less of the door on the right hand side and more of the corridor.

Reflections: Although these were all minor changes, it improved our footage a lot because framing was essential in us pulling off the split screen technique our transition from the house to the school depended on continuity. It also brought the level of our actor, Michael,who played the role of Arthur, up because he was able to act his scenes over and over again to a better level each time.
