Filming the Interrogation

In order to film the interrogation, we had to ensure that the misè-en-scene was right and portrayed the correct mood. To do this, we used 'red-head' lights which allowed us to control the level of lighting. The layout of the set was as shown below.

Our actress was positioned on the chair (3), surrounded by light. The light was directly in front of her. We positioned the two interrogators (1 and 2) on either side of the light, as if to frame the female character.

To get the high angle shots of the Security Camera, we filmed from the balcony shown in previous posts.

This is our director informing our actress in the rehearsal. This is important as he is in charge of ensuring the actors know what they are doing.

The Rehearsal

In order to ensure that we could use the time we had in the gym efficiently, we held a rehearsal to experiment with shots, angles, and most importantly, the movement and dialogue of the actors.

It is very important that we reviewed the footage we shot, so that once we returned to the editing room, we were not stuck with several missing or substandard shots. We took several takes to ensure this didn't happen.
