CONSTRUCTION:FILMING THE FINAL SCENE

Today we filmed the final scene for our short film. We wanted an ending which had a happy outcome, and that shows good triumphing over evil, as these were the codes and conventions we had found when researching professional short films in our film genre.

To ensure continuity in our filming we watched all the footage we had shot and looked to see were we had left off in terms of costume set and camera angle. The last scene had been a shot of Aggie running out of the library. We started the filming with a establishing shot to show the corridor leading up to the library doors. We then had Aggie run around the corner and bump into Zack, (the nice guy); and making him drop his books upon which there was a sticky note with 'I see you got my sticky notes" written on it. We used an extreme close up to show the sticky note clearly, to suggest the idea that it was the nice guy leaving the notes all along.

We used a pan up to show the nice guy and Aggie both holding the book with the note on it, rising up together. We then end on a two person close up of the pair gazing into one another's eyes.

I used PicMonkey to create a collage of the photos taken from the film as well as action shots from the filming.
