Final sequence filming

After looking at the footage that we had it's clear that more needed to be taken. We filmed at 9:00 pm so it was extremely dark and due to our small budget we cannot stretch to hiring studio lights or even a camcorder which doesn't fuzz in the dark. This was found out when we looked back over the footage. The lesson learnt from this is schedule filming when there is natural light ( preferably mid day 12:00 ) that is even if we need to film outside, another option is to film inside so there is a constant source of light but due to the film being set in a London urban environment this scenery needs to be in the scene to establish to the audience where the film is set.

Another thing was the amount of camera angles used. We need to go back and film using different types of shot t. What we've filmed so far has a very small range of shots and it doesn't look professional. I want to use many camera angles because I thought in the opening to fight club it looked really effective.

The production company

After much thought and analysis we have decided that for "The Division" it would be best for our studio and co producers to be FILM 4 productions. This is because Film 4 productions have produced the films that we would love "The Division" to be in the same style and to sit alongside with. Films such as "Dead Man's shoes" ,  "This is England" and "Trainspotting". which are massive inspirations with "The Division"

FIRST BIG CHUNK OF FILMING DONE!



This is a glimpse of the division in which we catch our first glimpse of "Danny" a young man mentally scared by the murder of his father seeking for his killers.

This shot was inspired by the first shot in the football factory when the main character is walking down the street. We used the same long shot but we decided for a better effect to break down the third wall and make the character look at the camera almost like an eye line shot with the audience to exudate dannys fierce and agressive facial expressions.
