Today we filmed the operator scene. We chose to film in the ICT department at school as it was suited to the purpose of the scene. For example Agatha played a police phone operator who receives a call from India, the main protagonist, needing urgent help. We thought that the ICT department would be suitable as power cables, sockets and computers would be visible in the shot of Agatha, making it recognisable to the audience that it was a call centre or location associated with electronic telecommunication.
We chose to put Agatha in a plain, suit, office attire as she is a professional, operator at work. We also decided that she should wear headset with microphone attachment as she would be needing to pick up urgent, emergency calls quickly having to have immediate and easy access to multitask, for example type information down of the caller such as their name, location, age and emergency.
I have made a photo collage of our shoot filming the operator scene using PicMonkey, a free online editing and photo collage making service. It is useful as it is quick to use, understand and easy to share using social media websites. I have documented my film opening shoot on my films Instagram page and on my personal Twitter page.
We started filming the news reporter scene after we had successfully filmed the film operator scene. However, due to the location we chose (just outside our schools entrance gates) where it was extremely windy and was a popular, busy entrance point for people visiting and exiting the school we were unable to continue filming. We have now chosen to re-film the scene that we chose to film then, sometime next week (beginning 9th March 2015) when the weather should be better or we could possibly film inside.
