Friday 31st January 2014-Atempting to film scene 2

Today we made another attempt to film scene two which is set on the playground at Manshead School. Scene 2 shows a teenage student called Lewis walking across the playground, and you then go on to see the three bullies begin to follow him. When following him across the playground they begin to shout homophobic abuse at him, and when catching up to Lewis the three bullies push him around the group and then push him to the floor. While on the floor they then kick Lewis, whilst continuously shouting homophobic abuse and nasty comments at him. This scene was used to show the physical side of bullying.
Again we weren’t able to film scene two on this day because we needed to film outside and the weather conditions were very bad. As we wanted our production to look professional we decided that it would be better to film on a day where it wasn’t raining as heavy or wasn’t as windy as we wanted to be able to hear the actors speaking, and not just the rain and wind in the background. Also we didn’t want to ruin any of the equipment by getting it wet, and also the school uniform that we were borrowing from the school would have got dirty as the actor playing Lewis would have had to lie on the floor. As we didn’t film on this day none of the production crew took on any roles, although when it comes to filming this scene I will be taking on the role of camera person, and also helping to assist the director on telling the actors where to stand in the scene. We then went on to decide on another day where we will be filming scene two where all the actors will be available, and also a day where the production crew would also be available for filming.
