On day two of filming, I filmed the missing poster shot, the brief conversation and an establishing shot. These scenes took place at my first location, which was on Moor Lane and on a field just behind the college. These settings were ideal for the shots as it shows the extent of the search for my protagonists sister.
The first shot was the missing poster. I wanted to have a medium close-up shot of my protagonist putting the poster up, and then to zoom in on the poster slightly to establish the importance of this poster. The camera was held by me just on the left of the pole that the protagonist puts the poster onto.
The reason for this scene is to start establishing the plot to my trailers target audience. It also introduces my protagonist and her sister, which is key to allowing my audience to see who the main characters are in my film.
The second part of our filming session was the conversations between my main protagonist and a small role. It was an over the shoulder shot of the other character that focuses on my protagonist. The character says "We'll help you find your sister" - this line confirms the narrative of my trailer and starts to interest the audience into finding out why she's missing.
Finally, I filmed an establishing shot of the field. This shot is a common feature in a Crime Thriller trailer - In all three of the trailers that I had researched, an establishing shot was used. I specifically did this shot on this day as the weather was dull and grey- this is pathetic fallacy that reflects the mood of my protagonist and the atmosphere of the trailer.
Filming lasted approximately just under two hours. This was due to change of idea's on angles, repeating scenes if lines weren't said right or if something went wrong and to make absolutely sure that I was happy with how the scene/shots look.
