Filming - Finishing The Job


The majority of our filming was in the vicinity of the red circle as seen on the picture above providedby Google Maps.

We all met outside the school at 2pm and went went through Carsons Copse (a public footpath) and came out on Rodway/Pomphrey Hill. The schools Brunel block was clearly visable behind us for mise en scene. We began filming at approximately half past two.
Instead of my previous idea, we all ageed that the two people the superheroes would confront would be youths smoking (an all too familiar sight in todays society).
There was origionally a fight scene planned but a group decision was made to cut it out as we were afraid of dramaticaly overshooting our two minute target. Instead we plan to edit in a title shot entitled '20 seconds later'. It may not have the same effect but it still should have some comic value. Violence is a key point in teen comedies. Im afraid this is something we may have missed out on.
Filming was done by half past four. We made sure we took multiple takes on some shots just to be sure. Last time we didn't reshoot any shots and we found ourself using footage which was not very professional.

The four of us (the superheros), also watched back every shot we did
to make sure they were suitable.
