I discussed my idea of filming our scene in a coffee
shop on our group chat, which is our main source of
communication. The idea came about after our trip to London and when editing
the clips, I realised our plot needed more depth for the audience to understand
our film. Our original idea was to go to Costa, however due to filming rights we
ended using an area in our school which looked similar to a coffee shop and
also meant we could use extras to add to the realism.
Just before the scene, I developed a short script
for me and Tom to follow which included some key points which would help the
audience to understand what’s going on. We needed to use a shot-reverse-shot
camera angle to capture both angles of Tom and I talking so our camera man,
Max, positioned the camera in 2 different angles to get the shots we needed. In
addition, we also used over the shoulder technique to display
our characters in more detail.

To film the audio of our clips, Tom and I used our
iPhones with the voice memo app. This made the audio sound clearer and crisp compared
to the camera microphone. When editing, I matched the audio up with clips and
added various sounds including traffic and various city ambiences that I downloaded
off YouTube, these made our scene
seem more like it was filmed in public. Furthermore, I added some fast tempo
music in the background which gave the scene more effect. I downloaded the Royalty
