Construction Post 5: The Back-Up Shoot

We started the back up shoot later than our main shoot as we only had to shoot the slap scene and this wouldn't obviously take up as much time. We showed our previous slap scene to members from our target audience as well as our teachers and they all agreed that the slap didn't look 'real' enough and need different camera angles to emphasise it as a big moment in our opening sequence. We decided that instead of showing the slap from a master shot point of view, we would film the whole thing from Marlon's over the shoulder and then cut the master shot in as he reaches out to comfort Lola. The back up shoot was very successful because it only required one extra cast member and so was easy to direct and get done.

The original slap that didn't work well for our continuity 

We had extra time left over and so we took some more bathroom shots to see if we could our make ending more effective, but it turned out that our original shots were the better ones.
