Our first shoot day.

The Shoot in Guildford went really well, we did a shot of the club sign tilting down showing Lottie Putting her jacket on coming out of the club and looking for a cab. We did a shot of a cab driving away from her and the unlicensed cab pulling up and her getting in. We then did a shot from another angle when Lottie is walking towards the camera and we see the black cab and unlicensed cab pulling up again. After that we did a shot through the window of the unlicensed cab as Lottie gets in it. These shots went really well for us but it was difficult as there were a lot of people walking past. It was also hard as we didn’t have a lot of time so we were rushed. This was my first time using a camera out in a town filming and there were a few inconveniences that I didn’t really think about before shooting i.e. the sound of the road, the traffic outside the club and getting the taxi to pull up on time. We could have used a better form of communication i.e. walky-talky’s to get everything coming at the correct time and making sure that people were not getting in the way of the camera. We decided to do these shots outside the club first of all to give us an establishing shot and secondly to show that she is alone and vulnerable, when we see the black cab pull of this is to show that she is being left alone in this place where she clearly looks lost. When the white car ‘our unlicensed cab’ pulls up this was shot from in front on a wide to show the confusion of this car pulling up by her and then the happiness when she realises this is a cab. All of our shots outside the car where done to give a sense of being alone and lots and I believe we achieved this.
