Film Noir - Production - Filming Process

The filming process took place on the 3rd March at around 6pm. We had to postpone the original time of 5pm due to the unscheduled amount of natural light still around at this time. As one of our actos had other plans for that evening; filming was pressured. To come over this problem, we decided to film, as soon as it was dark enough, the alleyway scene first. This was because the Villain, played by Warwick Davies, was the actor with the plans that evening.
After Warwick's part was completed we then moved onto the other dialogue shots in the alleyway. Because of the allowance of time that we had, we could then film two or three takes of one shot giving us a variation of shots to use when it came to the filming process. When moving into the house for filming, the lighting was already set up along with the detective's office so that we could start filming straight away. With a few adjustments with the lights to make sure the lighting was to how we wanted it and also making sure the characters were in shot - we were ready to film the dialogue inside the 'office'. This section of filming didn't take long at all since there were little amount of coversation for the actors to act. When the final shot was taken we were finished and were very happy with the results by quickly looking through the footage. As soon as the kit was packed away and the set was dismantled; the filming process was over.
