Shoot day , Scrap yard shooting

Since i was absent from the shooting at the scrap yard i was more involved in the planning process to make be able to get the finished shots which in the end looked great. But when my group came to the scrap yard the first thing they had to identify what place they would use for the kidnapping and were Teodora would be bound and gagged, the perfect place then turned out to be a scraped bus where Teodora was lying and waiting for Merlin’s rescue. As usual they started with wide shoots of all the different action and also dolly shoots following Merlin as he was crossing the scrap yard. The conditions were not the best and both Merlin had troubles with the cold but even though the shots turned out great. The filming continued and POV shots were done from Teodora’s point of view for example seeing Merlin rescue her etc. As Teodora was rescued Merlin was acting as a bodyguard that would do anything for her, not being “like everybody else”. After this Teodora and the team had some problems in coming up with specific shoots for the ending of the narrative but since it was promoting a film the shoots could be from different part of the movie and not a connected narrative.
Since our group has faced so many different kinds of problems I was very happy with the result that they were able to bring back from the scrap yard and is up to me and the group to now make the narrative and the performance to work and look professional.


in the picture you can see a mix of pictures taken by the team on the day of the shoot and we can the Merlin with a gun going around looking for Teodora which we can see lying bound and gagged on the bus. There is also a picture of matt the kidnapper going around in the scrap yard
