Filming today (posted by Louise)

The group filmed a sequence, of the 'protagonist' of the narrative, being tripped. This is only one situation used to highlight the bad day he's having. We placed our camera a good distance from the character and began filming with the camera zoomed in on his bored face. The use of the classroom setting creates a mundane and boring atmosphere. We filmed the camera zooming out as the character stands up from his desk an walks through the classroom. We carried this out a few times to get the right positions and went on to film the character being tripped over. We filmed the character walking towards the camera and then tripping. We then showed a close of another pupil sticking their foot out and another of their sneaky/amused expression. This will be followed by the 'protagonists' clearly annoyed face.

We are going on to film another sequence during lesson of the protagonist receiving bad grades from the teacher on a test. We will try to film a lot of the in school sequences during lesson time as this will be the most simple way of doing things. We have to arrange for the class to participate as well to create a realistic classroom setting. For example we should place the teacher at the front of the class, teaching/writing on the white board, whilst students sit on desks and chuck paper/annoy the protagonist.
