PRODUCTION LOG

Day 1:

We started by recording a scene in the dance room at Sixth Form. The scene was about the drug addicts being in a rehab centre trying to get over drugs. In this scene we had Terry the drug dealer, Josephine the drug addict, Georgina the counselor and extras. Georgina was giving the counseling then we had a shot of terry explaining why he is addicted to drugs followed by Josephine explaining why she is addicted to drugs.

Then they leave the room and then there is a track on Terry explaining how everything has changed which is meant to leave the audience interested to find out what happened that everything changed. After that the next shot was a track on Josephine explaining how everything has changed and then she receives a phone call from the drug dealer that she owes money to.

Next scene was my character dealing to Terry and the Josephine enters the scene and she has a confrontation with me about the money she owes me. The last shot for the day was tracking shot of Terry on the phone, creating interest about what is about to happen.

Day 2: Wednesday 17th February 2010

It was planned that we just coming into school to collect the equipment and film during the weekend but we decided that we should make the school one of are locations. We made this decision so that when it comes to editing we will have a various variety of shots that we can use to link together.

By us filming in school we was able to use more equipment that was not allowed of the premises and receive more advises on lighting, sound and filming techniques that will enhance the quality of are filming.

Our first scene was of terry hiding the drugs inside his school locker, we used a lot of camera angles to show such as close ups, medium shots, long shots and a shot with the camera inside of the locker. We shot these shots a couple of times so that when it comes to editing we have a variety of shots to use and also we was making sure that we lessened the risk of having to re-film.
The next scene we shot an extreme long shot of me in the school canteen, this was to show me as a very secretive character and that they may be something worrying me. The last scene is of Josephine getting into the left and Duane leaving the left and walking away.

Day 3: Monday 1st March 2010

Duane, Josephine’s and her friends meet up at Josephine’s house to film the drug scene. Terry and I were unable to meet up with them. There’s a shot of everyone taking the drugs and drinking alcohol. The next shot was a close up on Josephine smoking.

We meet up at about 6:30 pm to film the establishing shot of London and the area that we are set in. the next thing that we filmed was of a birds eye view of Terry walking into the estate. The next shot was of me following terry into the estate. After that it is a shot of me pushing Terry up against the wall.
