Filming Complete :D

We have finally finished the filming of our sequence. This second session of filming was a lot quicker as there were no outside shots; we had previously filmed all the smoking shots, outside. we had estimated that this would take about an hour and a half and this was more than adequate. Both Ade and I  feel very satisfied with the shots filmed and  very excited to start editing the project. At times it was a bit difficult to motivate and control the actors as enthusiasm sometimes got the better of them :D , However they were very co-operative and respectful and they did exactly what Ade and I wanted them to do within each shot. the chemistry between the two actors was outstanding, and the casting was perfect. We plan to make the start of this film in black and white to emphasis a bleak and grim atmosphere. we achieved the lighting effect with just the one lamp , giving us great dramatic shadows. Everything including costumes fitted well within  the desired retrospective time period of the 1960s. We tried to use a variety of shots including shoulder shots, high/low and angle shots and very mild panning.
