Filming and Editing update 3

The third day of filming was Thursday, after school we went back to Harrison's house for the victim's house scene, we refilmed a few shots because after we reviewed them all we thought that we could improve some of the shots and add some extra shots to make the opening flow better. So we reshot some scenes that we know would not cause continuity errors with the background and acting,
we also spent some time filming various shots of the bike and the deliveryman's journey to the house, we filmed a few long bike rides around market rasen with the camera and tripod mounted to the front of the bike to get close-up shots of the deliveryman in the pitch black streets with streetlights reflecting along his helmet and visor and still keeping his identity a mystery.

We had the task of taping the tripod to the front of the bike for filming the close-up of the deliveryman in his helmet, we had some trouble figuring out how to mount it and make it secure to reduce shaking, but we managed to mount it to the desired effect with some time and testing. We also had a problem during the second take of the helmet close-up where the camera on the stand loosened itself and slipped out of frame to the side and filmed houses and streets instead. We overcame this by keeping the footage we had and stopped filming because he had all we needed for the opening anyway so we finished filming.

In class we designed the film title for the end of the opening, where it reveals the name of our film after fading to black in the end of the opening. we decided on calling it 'The Courier' and its design with the film's themes in mind, based on the use of low key lighting/dark colours and scenes centred around the main character, the deliveryman. We have completed all of the filming for the film opening now, with all of the raw footage on the computer along with all of the audio components, we just need to trim it down and actually piece it together.
