Production: Day Three!

 Day three was our final day of filming! We worked on scene one, our opening scene on day three.

This scene required a chess board, and two actors. Unfortunately, we didn’t have our actors. Although, re-using our actors didn’t make much sense either. 

So today, everyone had a different hat to wear. I shot the scene, while Jackie (our cinematographer) and Kate (our editor), both acted in the scene.

We were able to shoot this scene in around 4 takes. We had two different shots for this scene. The first shot is shown below.

The second scene (shown below) is a close up of our queen falling over, which serves as foreshadowing. This took multiple takes, more than five, to get a ‘natural’ feel of the piece falling over. 

We were able to achieve this, and it looks very well done. Jackie shot this scene, as she wasn’t needed for acting here.

Next up, editing! Final cuts are due soon, and we have quite a bit of footage to trim down.
