We are currently midway through filming the opening of 'Twelve Hours'. To be honest, it hasn't gone as well as it could have done due to issues involving location and timing. We've also had a couple of technical difficulties but these can be easily resolved. We feel much more confident about the whole thing now that we have found a girl to act in our film.
we've filmed around half of the opening. the first shot we have is of me waking up next to the girl, we originally see a digital clock showing the time 11:59, the moment the time changes to 12:00 the alarm starts to go off, we then see my hand reaching over to turn the alarm off, the camera then follows my arm and focus's on me and the girl for a few seconds. the next three shots are all taken from the same position. The first one shows me walking from the bedroom door to the bathroom wearing pyjamas, the next one shows me walking out of the bathroom with a towel attempting to dry my hair still wearing the pyjamas walking back to the bedroom. The last of these shots shows me leaving the bedroom once again (This time wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt), I walk past the bathroom door and begin to walk down the stairs that are situated just to the right of the bathroom. The next shot we have is taken from a crane shot facing down on the stairs. We see me walking down them. After this we have a shot taken from the bottom of the staircase again showing me walking down them but in this case, only showing my feet. the next shot shows me walking from one side of a room to another (from the stairs to the kitchen). After this we see me walking into the kitchen. I turn on the light, open the fridge, take out the milk and get out a bowel and some cornflakes from the cupboard. The next shot is again a crane shot (this time facing a closed draw). I then open the draw, take out a spoon from within it and then close it. All of these shots are in order and have all been taken but we've also done some that are not. We've done a shot showing me leaving the front door of my house and also one of me walking into the distance.
Realistically I can See us finishing the filming by friday.
Good stuff Walter!
