Today James was behind the camera filming our female protagonist Chantelle. We realised that there needed to be more action scenes so we asked Daniel to be the enemy pursuing our female protagonist.

We weren't happy with the perspective shots from inside the room because we could not get enough light so we decided to go outside. Jasmine assisted James with the lens settings because James wanted to experiment with the focus. We wanted to know whether a shallow focus or a deep focus on the gun would be more effective.

In the end we decided to go with the deep focus because it creates a sense of mystery: the person holding the gun is unrecognizable until the last second when their face and the gun come into focus. 

Daniel's staircase scene was not in the original storyboard but taking on the advice of our teachers, we needed more characters so we added a villain. 

In the next scene we will be filming the flashback scene of the main protagonists and the initiation/tattoo scene as well as the dinner table scene.
