Filming - Day 2

 Our second day of filming was filmed at The Old White Horse in Baldock. We chose this pub as it has a large pool table that we wanted to add in to our film.

 This is the pool table we used to open the scene,we thought using the pool table we could get some really good shots, such as the balls breaking and being potted. The table also added a modern/stylish effect to our film.A few problems occurred when doing this scene as the pool table was next to the toilets so members of the public who needed the toilet would have to walk past, this meant we had to film the same scene more times than normal.

  Another problem we came across in the pub was there were already people using the pool table. This was okay, it just meant we had to wait for them to finish and were not left with much time to get our filming done. Due to this we had to come back the next day to finish off the filming we couldn't do originally .

 This is a picture of us filming. This scene is the audiences first encounter with the femme fatale so we wanted to make sure it was a good shot. The setting was at a bar, and the camera pans up to reveal the femme fatale. We liked this shot as the lighting from the window only lit half of her face, maybe showing a split personality, there was also a lot of equipment at the bar that made the shot more realistic and effective.

We did not include this fire place in this scene as it was not needed, but it could fit into our film later on. The open fire could be used to show love, passion or comfort or it could be include in a seen between the detective and femme fatale.
 Venetian blinds are a typical feature in film noir films and we tried to incorporate them into ours. We filmed Ben walking away through them, they were also useful for lighting, as in a shot of the femme fatale, the blinds added effective lighting across her face.
