We were given a double paged paper, with different forms of shots on them like, over the shoulder, wide shot and so on. With each of these images there were sentences. We created a storyline to go with these images and sentences.
We chose to film in the editing suite. Tom was filming, Julia and Sadie were cardholders and continouity people and Fady and I were the actors from the story board. We all helped each other with the different roles, working as a team. We had some obstacles while filming. For example while we were filming our ‘Card Holders’ (the people with our lines) we could see their reflection in the TV, therefore we turned the screen white, that messed up our white balance a bit, plus our cardholders had to move.
We made marks for ourselves so, we would hit the same spot over and over again, and to make the editing easier, to make the cuts fit together. We just used inside artificial light, to light our scene. We did the same takes continuously to make sure that we got all of the footage right.
We did not break the 180 degree rule, and kept it, by a lot of over the shoulder shots, wide shots and close-ups. We had our continuity people making sure that everything was continuous that nothing suddenly changed like a door was open in one shot and then closed in another. Then when we had gotten all of our ‘real’ shot, we played around with the ‘guy’ walking with the camera while he walks into the room, and did a close up of my shoes while I’m tying them, which actually worked very nice during the editing process.

We chose to edit the pre-lim in a way so that it ran smooth through without you noticing the cuts. It was tough using Final Cut Pro because it is so professional but once you get used to it you find out that it is easier than you think.
