30th November- Day 4 Of Filming

Today was a very productive day as we shot many scenes: 3A,3B,3C,3D,3E,3F,3G,3H.

3A- This is the scene of Zein chasing Sandhya however she is walking in front crying. When we shot this, the camera was in a fixed position however we had some lighting problems therefore we switched to another side of a road and this was helpful because where was not houses in the background and there was enough spacing. 

3B- Originally we were going to do this as a medium shot where Zein reaches out for her shoulder but the shrugs her shoulder. When shooting this, we didn't raise any problems apart from getting both of them in the frame therefore we put markers on the floor to make it clear for Zein and Sandhya where they had to stop and where she had to shrug her shoulder. We also changed positions of the camera to an angle to achieve this.

3C- We then changed the camera to an angle where we see both the male and female arguing in order for the audience to get an insight into facial expressions. When we shot this, we had to help them argue because it was hard to put them on the spot and tell them to argue therefore our group helped them out on focusing on a topic to argue about. 

3D- We positioned the camera over the shoulder of Zein where we see the female character in tears. It was hard making Sandhya cry therefore we changed the idea to her to act as if she is not bothered and is fed up. Here we shot them both arguing but at another angle. This was very successful as we didn't have to shoot this many times. Then Sandhya walks off screen. 

3E- This was a very easy shot to shoot, as we placed the camera outside and we see Sandhya slam the door when she says "care". Here we had to position the camera inside aswell to show both of the characters reactions from each side. 

3F & 3G- These shots were quite time consuming however their acting was excellent. This was a split screen effect and because we did not have two cameras we shot each side many times. In 3F, Sandhya is indoors and leans her door against the door because she is upset. And she turns around and slides down the door slowly. This was effective because from the reflection of the door we could see Zein's reflection through the door and him looking frustrated and banging against the door. In 3G, we see Zein walking off screen and Sandhya is still indoors upset on the floor. We shot the indoor scenes all together and placed the camera inside then we went outside and done the parts which shows Zein's part of the split screen. This way it was easier instead of moving the camera each time. 

3H- The camera was placed outside showing a long shot of Zein coming back into the scene and tries knocking on the door however he is angry and fed up therefore walks away. This was simple to shoot as there was not many movements in terms of the camera.
