Day 2 of shooting - 28/02/13

For the second part of our shooting, we decided that the long alleyway just round the corner from our school would be a suitable (as the scene is a shot that includes a 15 meter run)setting for the flashback that occurs from Veronica awakening, which fits perfectly from where we left off. In this scene what we wanted to achieve that a chase that takes place in Veronica's life, her pimp and his friend trying to capture Veronica from her escape. Instead of holding the steadycam, we decided to use a tripod, with George sitting in a trolley which would be pulled backwards whilst filming Veronica and the two men in suits chasing her. By doing this enabled the camera to be more still and central, rather than someone having to run backwards whilst doing this. 

We had one person pulling it straight whilst running, and two people on either side pulling and running in order to keep the trolley straight therefore the shooting of the run still and professional too. For our shot, we had Veronica in the middle with the two men either side her about 2 meters back. The trolley was pulled backwards whilst the shot was being taking, enabling for the run to look realistic as possible, eventually with one of the men pulling a capgun out and shooting. This was a prop we used, which added to the tenseness of the scene in contrast to the previous scene which was instead quite eerie, lonely and negative.

We were able to shoot this about 3 times, which was enough for us to use and edit into our opening. We didn't come across many difficulties, apart from having to pull the trolley backwards in a straight line! However we managed to achieve what we needed.
