Second time of filming

On the 27th of December we decided to film the house scene, which was situated at my house. My partner and I wanted to film in the snow but since, there wasn't any this year, we decided to film an argument scene at my house. I set up the camera and made a medium shot in front of the couple, so what the audience would see is the boy playing his Xbox while his girlfriend tried to show something to him. However, since he wasn't paying attention to her, she would storm off, so from a side shot I got my partner; Artiola to walk off. Then I set the camera up in the corridor because I wanted the audience to see Artiola storming off and as she did she would walk towards the camera, therefore, showing her emotion on her face which was upset. She then faced away from the camera to show she was upset and so, I did the same technique I did in the park where the boy lost the game, got frustrated so put his head in his hands, and we made him disappear again. We had to do plenty of these shots again and again especially when Artiola would walk towards the camera because she would always end up laughing.

First day of filming

On the first day, 23rd of December me and my partner and a friend of ours went to film at central park in order to film the park scenes. First of all we decided to film the scene where my partner and the boy sat on a swing and did a point of view shot. As they spun around they filmed themselves therefore, catching themselves laughing and having a great time together. The next scene we did was a walking scene, so I filmed a long shot of the couple walking further away from the camera, and then me and my partner decided to make the boy disappear so, I filmed them both standing still and then after 3 seconds I told him to walk off and then filmed my partner again standing still for another 3 seconds so the effect could work when I got the time to edit it. I filmed this scene a couple of times because sometimes my partner would end up moving. Then once everything was done she walked off without him to show that she was remembering her memories she had with her partner, since this video is about how she grieves for her lost boyfriend. The last scene we wanted to film was the couple taking pictures, so I did an over the shoulder shot where the camera could see the boy hugging the girl from behind and them taking pictures with each other on his phone.
