2. This day, Beatriz Arredondo was filming the scenes as
Mary-Grace Vicente and Roshani Perera had filmed
previous scenes. In the image above, we were
experimenting with various positions that Christina Pope
would stand in. We tried to situate the camera and have
Christina standing somewhere where we could fit
everything we wanted into the mise-en-scene.
3. The images above are of the most challenging part of
filming the toilet scene. This is because we had to
include Maria Ngoma ,Mario Tofaris and Christina Pope
in the mise-en-scene without changing the position that
Christina was initially standing in as this would reflect a
bad transition. It therefore took us a while to figure out
which sides each of the actors (Maria and Mario) should
stand.

6. Our idea at first was to film the scene of Christina Pope running out into
the corridor and being surrounded by a crowd. This meant that we
needed a corridor to film her in. However, the corridors at Trinity-at-
Bowes had built in sensors which meant that every time somebody
walked past, the lights would automatically come one. As a result, we
were unable to film this scene because we needed a dark atmosphere.
Because of the limited time that we had to complete our movie opening,
we improvised and used a spare room and attempted to create a
corridor like setting. However, this was unsuccessful which is why we
created the lift scene.

8. Here, Mary-Grace
Vicente was figuring
out whether the actors
would be visible if they
were filmed in the lift
and we were
experimenting with
tripod lengths, camera
angles and so on.
9. These are further images of us experimenting with
camera shots and angles as we had only thought
of this scene after we got to Trinity-at-Bowes
because we were unaware that they had a lift.

12. Trinity-at-Bowes allowed us to film on their premises on one
conditions; that we filmed their music concert. We agreed to this
condition as we needed a place to film as soon as possible. We
therefore did as promised and filmed their music concert. The
images above are of Beatriz Arredondo (left) and Roshani Perera
(right) filming. Mary-Grace Vicente was unable to attend as she
had work and wasn’t able to take a day of.
It was a great opportunity for us to experience using a different
type of camera and a tripod that was much longer in length than
the one we had been using to film our movie opening.
13. On the day of the
music concert, we
were both given t-
shirts to wear
during the event so
that we can be
identified as staff.
The rest of the
people that were
working on that day
also had to wear t-
shirts with the same
logo.
