Location/Drama- Final Shots

On Monday 1st December we started to film the final shots of our production, these were shots we decided to leave to last due to how technical they could be while filming. The main shot we needed to get was Georgie's hand been pulled into the drain by Pennywise and because this scene only features hands we used different people to do this scene than the people who did the acting. We filmed outside on the university campus and reused the drain that John created to make it look like through the camera the hand is reaching into the drain.

We watched the scene for the shot we were looking to recreate on set so we could accurately set up the camera to the right height and angle for our production. The shot also includes water flowing down the drain so we had multiple bottles of water on standby so we could use them in the shot, we tried several times to get the water to look like it did in the film but it was complicated with having electrical equipment around to keep a good distance between the two while managing to get the shot. We did multiple takes of this shot some with and some without the water flowing, it only took 20-30 minutes to set up and film and their was very little obstacles to overcome.

     
Later on Chloe (Director of Documentary) scheduled interviews for the documentary to take place at Flix Cafe in the afternoon, all of the crew turned up and we shot the interviews in twos. Steven (Director) and Simon (Production Manager) did their interviews together and John (Sound and Lighting) and Jacob (Cameraman and Editor) did their interviews together. The interviews weren't too time consuming and went quite smoothly. Chloe asked all the questions she wanted to feature in the documentary and now has enough footage and completed all the footage she wanted for the documentary and ready to edit it to go along side the recreation.
