 First Shoot March 3 ... rd

• We began by driving to Heathrow Terminal 5, were we had to get there as soon as possible
because we only had 15 minutes to film what we wanted. we had to apply for a filming
permit from the media office in the terminal, this was all done last minute. We arrived at the
terminal and drove tot he forecourt where we had Amar walking out of the doors into the
forecourt as if he had just come of a flight. We first had a scene where he receives his car keys
of a random women we asked to help us out, we decided not to use that scene even though
she was really good looking.

We then left the airport and went straight to the countryside where we had a lovely villa
waiting for us to film inside. We had many problems such as, lighting - this made our work
look too dark as we didn't have sufficient lighting. One scene we filmed was done using nights
hot as we film us going into the drive and parking up outside the house. It was very difficult
too hold a steady shot as the ground was covered in stones.

We then continued to inside the house where we displayed a 180 degree rule using a mirror,
we had to use the perfect amount of light because we only wanted to have Humzah barely
visible till he walked inside from the balcony. This is when Humzah confronts Amar where he
says a few lines and then pulls out a gun, cocks it back and holds it to Amars face.

• We start off with arriving at the set and just exploring the view and how it would fit in to our story. We used a villa for
out location for the film, this set was perfect for us as our story involved rich big shots making money and being a
great success in life (Carlos) therefore we needed a place for him that would match perfectly with his image.

We shot every scene about 2-3 times so we can select the best one and carry it forward to our final film after editing,
this way we would not have to re-shoot or make any changes as we have few copies of it. One of the main problems
we got was the signals of our phones being caught in the shot, this would disrupt our scene and therefore had to be
shot again.

Another problem we faced during our filming was light, as we were shooting at night time we had some scenes
that came out very dark on d camera. To solve this we used extra lighting through 'Phone torches' this helped a lot as
the light in the phone would brighten up the whole scene with that glimpse of darkness creating a very good image
for the viewers.

One thing I believe our group stood out was on the way we all worked as a team to create the best scenes we could
for our group, our cameramen were always on task working very hard to retake every shot if needed even about 30
times as we needed to do so for one of the scenes. The actors in the film were played by members from our group
Amar (Carlos) Humzah (Rico) Ahmed (Tony) and Usman as a guard. As an actor in the film I had to keep going through
many scenes myself until the team got it right, one scene where I had 2 remove my jacket and put a shirt on got very
annoying as i had to keep changing over and over again. Finally after all the problems our team overcame them and
went through to which hopefully will be a exciting thriller opening.
