We filmed in the old media room above the theater studio. This room is plain, a little ruff looking as things have clearly been pulled off the wall. This fit well with the way we wanted the story to seem; a little mysteries and some where they weren't meant to be. My role was to do continuity, to make sure everything was the same in each shot. I watched for small things like which hand the actor used to pick up the suitcase and how many steps she took, so that it would be easier when it came round to editing.
We had the room light; we used two lights. We did this to try and make it so there was no shadow but we did not have sufficient space to make it completely without shadow. We wanted to have it bright in the actors faces in an high intensity interview type fashion. I do not think it was that effective because we did not have all proper stands and could not the the angle exactly right.
Alex was operating the camera in are group. She set up the camera and then both me and Tk checked after to make sure it was correct. After each time we moved the tripod and camera we made sure it was rebubbled. I made sure that in each frame you could not see the lighting equipment or our shadows. We used all the angles that were given to us on the story board, and when we added our own we made sure that they added to the story and we not completely random.
When filming we did it all in a specific order e.g. shooting all wide shots first, then all over the sholdershots and not in chronological order. Each time we shot from each angle we did the whole scene. At no point did we cross the 180 degree line, we made sure we did not so that the image would not appear flipped to the viewer.
Tk was the director, at the start of each shot she would stay "stand by" we would then respond "standing by" to let her know we were ready. After that she calls "roll camera", Alex would then reply "camera rolling" when the camera was ready. To start the scene Tk "Action".
