Location
(Before filming)
Interrogation Scene: Wymondham
High Academy-
(Basement)
The basement is dilapidated, dark
and very atmospheric. The little natural light coming from the window in the ceiling
creates effective shadows on the walls, and, using our torch, we emphasized
this. This created a very claustrophobic, suspenseful atmosphere.
Action Scene: Norwich-
(Alleyways and streets, the
underpass)
We will use narrow, quite dark
alleyways. We will go at a time where the city is sparsely populated. We specifically
wanted to use the underpass, as we thought the graffiti added to the impression
of the criminal being trapped, and the four different directions to go fitted
with our plot as we planned for his to look around, confused, giving the
detectives enough time to catch up with him.
(After filming)
We followed through with our plan
to film in Norwich. Our first day was spent in Wymondham High's basement. We
started by gathering as much footage as possible of the first room for establishing
shots, filming various shots and pans of the rooms. After we were happy with
this footage Laura and Ollie began to film myself and Charlie walking into the second
room where Tom would be held. This was fairly simple and only took a few repeats
to get right. Next we filmed me slamming the door, walking across the
plank and shining a torch onto Tom's face. Here we really tried
to capture the atmosphere, keeping the sound of the door slamming, and showing how
the room went pitch black before the torch was turned on. We had several takes
of Tom reacting to the torch, which ended up looking incredibly realistic.
Then we moved onto filming the more violent scenes. We took several of Tom
getting slapped, both a wide shot and close ups of each, from both myself and
Charlie. Our final shot was Charlie pushing Tom against the wall.
Our next day was spent at
Norwich at 8:30 in the morning. We began by filming Tom and Charlie running
through the streets. We filmed through the arcade, in the castle mall and out
on the streets, to demonstrate the desperation of Tom’s character to get away,
and how hard he’s trying to escape. We also filmed them from a high angle (two
floors above) to replicate a security camera, when in the castle mall. We then
moved into the underpass. This took more takes than any other shots we did, as
we had more technical issues with using over-shoulder shots and a 360 degree
shot. Finally, we filmed Charlie calling my character.
