Filming the scene!

With the script finalised, I organised the shoot for Tuesday the 13th. We started off by going briefly through the script together to get a clear joint idea of what we would be doing and then we quickly got going. 

We shot in chronological order for most of the day, only shooting out of order if there was the need for a lens change for a couple of shots together. I used two lenses for the shoot; predominantly a vintage 50mm F1.8 which gives a much more cinematic depth of field (along with an anamorphic bokeh filter that I added to the back of the lens), and the other was my 15-45 kit lens for any shot in which I wanted a wider angle to show the isolation of the character. 

I shot the scene in 4k resolution so I have maximum image quality and flexibility in post. I tried to slowly increase the amount of handheld shots as the day went on in an attempt to create more unrest in the viewer. Liam Shevill was great to work with again and played the role nicely as well as offering suggestions. I am really pleased with his performance and contribution.

The only issues were that we had to re-shoot a couple of shots the next day due to the originals being far to noisy as a result of the high ISO to compensate for the sunset. This wasn't a problem and I am actually more happy with the new takes from a cinematic perspective as well as they are framed better (as well as lit better).
