These are some shots of the location that we filmed at Jack's house:

Today's filming went smoothly and it was easy to film. Today I filmed all the scenes in the house as Jack was needed to act out in all of the scenes. It was the first time I have ever done any filming professionally and found it quite tricky to keep the camera still as we did not have access to a tripod. I believe that the filming from me was good and was able to include many different shots;

Over The Shoulder

This shot it usually used when there is a conversation but as Reece is getting angrier he is crossing words out with his pen more vigorously and this is important and that is the reason we used this shot.



Close Up

This is a good shot as we can see the gun and the legs. This is a very seductive shot as the skirt/dress is quite high and she has her legs crossed, this is a classic femme-fetale pose. (example)




Low Angle

This shot allows us to determine who is in control. Reece Freeman has just walked in and found his wife with another man. This shot shows his anger and assurance and makes other characters in the scene inferior and vulnerable.


High Angle

An important aspect of the scene and as it is a high angle shot of a black gun again white paper it stands out.

As you can see it is quite and old house which is good as it fits with the age. Also the wooden beams in  Jack's living room also work very well as they look royal and the black beams against the white ceiling look like venetian blinds which is a classic convention.
