My Recce

For my main task I had to film a Recce of a selected scene so I could work out the suitability for the filming assessing any potential issues which may effect the real filming. I found the Recce helped a lot as It helped me to point out many problems with the scene such as:

• The location - The scene when Thomas was coming out of prison didn't fit into the mis-en-scene as we filmed it in a busy college where students were walking past making it look very unrealistic

• Camera Angles - I found that the long shot camera angles were not working as we couldn't see the characters emotions. Also we filmed the scene in one shot making it very plain and boring to watch back

• Sounds - The location in which we filmed in was very loud and busy

• Actors Movement - The actors movements were quite plain and boring as there wasn't much to do during this scene

Here is the Recce for the scene in which was taken out of my film:

Having watched back the Recce I decided to take the whole scene out of my film as i thought it was boring and not very important to the film as it didn't really have meaning. Also i found that no camera angles really worked for this scene though i experimented with many.
