Our third shoot day begin with high spirits as we had already had two days of experience with us therefore we worked efficiently to prepare all the props and script. We also were able to schedule our timings well and this allowed our main actor to be completely available during the day as we could tell him the times we were free to film.
We drove to the location however we stopped before we reached it to get some shots of our actors driving, this proved practical since we were able to make use of the distance between where we stopped and the final destination of the scene. We took the wide sideline shot of the car driving from left to right, and the car traveling towards to camera.
We then stopped the car and I took the camera of the tripod and went into the car to film the mirror view shots. It was quite hard and took quite a bit of time to compose the shot correctly due to the bumping of the car driving. We also had to configure the correct lighting for the shot while in the car since the outdoor lighting kit could be seen in the mirror while filming.
We then drove to the final destination and took some tracking shots of the car pulling in to the driveway where the acting would take place. The first shot at the location was a medium close up of the car pulling into composition and then wide over the shoulder shots of the two characters. We also took a close up of the gun and and medium shot of the main character shooting the gun, ready to be edited together in succession.
