Office Filming Day

On the 29th of March 2018, we went to my dad's office to film some shots for the office/secretary scenes. We planned to shoot some filler shots for the narration to play over for any part of the film, such as shots of flowers or cars driving along a road. We also needed to get shots of a general day in an office, such as a woman typing on a computer, files, and a woman using a photocopier. This would allow us to let the audience realise that these shots are taking place in the business which sets up the date between Bobby and Poppy. We wanted to get shots of Maeve acting as a secretary who would be on the phone to Bobby informing him about his date with Poppy.

We managed to get all of the filler shots that we needed which really helped throughout editing as it gave us lots of time for narration throughout the film. 

During the scene of the phone call between the secretary and Bobby, we decided to have our secretary scrolling on her computer through a word document of both Bobby and Poppy's applications to the dating programme. This is visible in an over the shoulder shot we took whilst the secretary was on the phone. We thought that this would be a good shot to allow the audience to have an insight into both characters and show that they have met through a dating programme.

Overall, our filming day at the office went very smoothly and only took around 1 hour to film, as we arrived at 4pm and we were finished by around 5pm. We had no delays and we followed the shooting schedule very carefully.
