Filming - Fourth Scene

Scene 4 is short but very important in our short film. We started of at our friend Jack's house, which is where our two brothers live. The scene starts off at night with the older brother coming home from work. It is a lighthearted conversation that quickly gets turned on its head. For this conversation we used the shotgun microphone to record audio and we used a variety of shots that set the atmosphere between the two characters.




Then we see the younger brother braking down in his bedroom comtemplating the burden he has taken on. In this section we used different effects such as motion blur when he is drinking the wisky to give the viewer the feeling that they are in his shoes. The song in the background (Night Time - The XX) I feel sets the mood really well.  








Finally, the last section we went to a location with street lights (Upper Heyford) and got Jack to walk down the street holding the camera and stumbling around, this is a popular technique that we have seen used in a number of urban dramas.
