Other Shoots and Editing

I finished filming last Thursday and I'd like to think now I've given myself enough time to make the film the best it can be. I have enough time for pick ups but here are some images from the remaining scenes.

 

Cafe Scene

The cafe scene was filmed with the guys and actor Darragh Water in the middle of March in the Civic Theatre in Tallaght. A rough edited was cut as well which came together nicely.

Even More Filming

More filming will be done on Saturday. I managed to get permission to film in the Cafe in the Civic Theatre so I will be filming that scene early on Saturday, then once that is done I will head to my other location and shoot some more of the house stuff.

More Filming

On Monday the 29th of Feb I filmed some more footage in my Gran's house. 2 smalls scenes were filmed of me finding some pills that Joseph didn't take, as well as the 2nd bedroom scene. Also since the last blog post I have been syncing footage, as well as finding possible locations for the car park scene, the cafe scene and  getting my hands on a Garda outfit.

Some Updates

Today I spent planning out what I still need to shoot and try plan around my actor as well as the others guys in my year as I'm acting in their films also. I've calculated I have 8 scenes to do some which require Colin, some that don't. It was very helpful for me to do this because now I can organise myself and plan accordingly. I also did a small rewrite to some of the scenes in the script to make it flow better, as well as syncing the footage from a shoot we did the other day.

The Christmas Break and Getting The Ball Rolling

Over the Christmas I watched a lot of films and TV that related quite a bit towards my film. From Broadchurch to Making A Murder, Legend to ROOM, these films and TV shows helped me create some new ideas and shots for my filming.





This put me in good stead to start filming. Myself, Anthony, Stephen and Colin all headed to set as we filmed some exterior shots as well as shooting some indoor stuff as well. The performances by the cast and crew were great and it set us up nicely for the next shoot.

I also synced the footage which also allowed me to look back on the footage. I think there is enough there to work with and makes me confident moving forward on the project. It felt great that the project is finally underway and I'm looking forward to push it on.
