Shooting Day 4: Server Room (Adaptation)

We filmed the extra scene that was going to be added on at the end of our opening. We filmed in a server room at school which we scouted a week early and had to get permission to use. 
To this on the existing footage we went back to Tunbridge wells to film the character coming out the the lift and then graphic matched it to her entering the server room. 

We also wanted this shot to be continuous meaning that when we filmed it, everything had to be timed perfectly so we had people behind the camera instructing exactly when the actresses needed to move. We also filmed it so that the actress held the camera steady but had someone holding it so that when she moved out of shot there was someone holding the camera still so that the transition was smooth.

We used empty food packets and cans to look as though they usually hang out here and also placed many gaming and computer equipment around the room. We had a small area and to make it appear bigger we tried to make it look like there was more beyond. We did this by getting an actress to walk past the screen into the wall to make it seem like there was more ahead of where she was going.

When it came to editing we were unable to hear the characters speak, therefore we had to mute that video and place a voice over on top to match the scene. It was difficult as you had to record the voice at the same speed. However in the end we managed to record the voice over and it fits perfectly.
