Filming #3

I filmed the whole of this - Part III of the filming comprised of tying up specific scenes.

After looking over our first parts of filming on the estate, I broke down the main parts of the flashback sequence that need to be finished:

Introduction Running scene, interaction between the Witness + Gang and several establishing shots (including the victim entering the estate by car). 

What I focused on also was incorporating the entrances of the mob members onto the estate so I included shots of 2 men walking down from the alley next to some bins (as seen above). Although this may not be used, I made a habit of filming more than I needed so that it is useful for cut-scenes during the later stages of editing. 

What we needed was a strong establishing shot of the mob and their placement. I decided to film this shot whilst I drove up the road, because of the scarcity of people and obstructions present, I was able to do this with ease. I decided to film it like this to get the point of view of the driver and to hint to our audience a connection between the driver and these men later. By filming it with somebody sitting in the passenger seat, it simply wouldn't have had the same effect. 

At stage 3 of the filming I am happy with the outcome of my filming so far. At this penultimate stage, we have just a few more bits of footage left to capture.
