CONSTRUCTION: HIGH STREET

We filmed on the High Street for two very short scenes. The first shot was filmed outside a local clothes shop in which Adam and Eve both look inside at the clothing. They then see Ular walk past  They then see Ular walk beside. Reactions of the characters were important, especially from Eve as we had to demonstrate that whilst she was happy with Adam, she is fascinated with Ular. We filmed the shot quickly in order to not distract people with their daily lives. We also had to be incredibly mindful of our surrounding situations due to the fact that we were in a public area. This is why we tried to film when there were very few people walking into frame. Whilst we did find a real shop to be used for the scene , we didn't reveal the name due to copyright laws. In this right, we had to be mindful of when and how we filmed.

We then filmed a closeup of Eve's hand let go of Adam's as she walks away. This was a very effective shot as it demonstrates that Eve is slowly being driven away from Adam and that she is being tempted by the expensive traits that Ular has. We also filmed this in front of the shop, so we continued to try and not to use the name of shop in the shot itself.

We then had  an over the shoulder shot of Adam as he sees both Eve and Ular sitting at a restaurant. This ultimately shows the first signs of jealousy that Adam displays towards Ular. This shot we were using public property at a local Costa coffee shop. Whilst we were not allowed to film inside the restaurant itself, we were allowed to film the outside tables. Audio was something that became a problem whilst filming due to the fact that it was incredibly windy. This is why we have decided to dub over the footage with a different audio track.  I primarily acted, although I did provide a role as an assistant director such as telling the actress playing Eve how to act in the Costa scene e.g. telling her to be more relaxed.
