Filming part 2

We went to the original place where we had filmed before, but we had left it until it was dark this time so it felt more like a mugging. As we got to the location we came to the conclusion that it was to dark to film that particular alley and relocated to a different one. We had to walk quite far to get to a well lighted alley way but it was the perfect spot to film.

We had given all of the actors scripts so they could go through some lines, so we would not have as many out-takes this time. The filming of the piece went very smoothly apart from quite a few out-takes because people were laughing to much, but it only to around 3o minutes to shoot the whole of the video. We captured around 20 minutes of footage and need to edit down to a maximum of 22 minutes

We organised every thing by e-mailing each other and by telephone. I sent the actors a script and the basic structure of how we wanted the filming to go. This way they will understand what they are doing and we do not have to waste time. We also set costumes; for the kidnappers, they had to were all black to make it seem as if they were real and for the couple we just said smart casual because they had just come back from a party. We did not realy need any props, we were going to give the kidnappers baseball bats to look even more hostile but we decided against it becasue it would be to hard to film some hitting someone with a bat.
