On the set of TIME'S UP

This image of Ella and I was taken as we set up the camera to film our opening scene.We set up downstairs in order to produce a long shot of our actor, Megan (Harriet), walking down the stairs ready to go out to the 'cafe'. We decided to use a tripod for this shot in case we decided to shoot a vertical tracking shot which we actually did use in our opening scene, but was then cut to a side angle view of the stairs.




We also took numerous amounts of photos of ourselves and the set whilst we were actually filming, one of which being this image. This was taken in front of the front door of our filming location. Here we were filming a close up of the bag which Harriet picks up but this shot was eventually cut from the scene as we used another close up from the same scene, so we decided not to use both as we thought it wouldn't and didn't look right in the final draft of our film.



This photo is taken of Amy applying makeup to our other actor, Megan's, arm. This makeup was applied to show the timer that all humans have in the world that we created in TIME'S UP. We had to change the time on Megan's arm many times in order to show the time ticking down on Harriet's timer. In the film, approximately three or four shots showing the timer on her arm will be used in the final cut of our film. As the film proceeds, the time will decrease in each scene.

For the very beginning of our film, we had to shoot a scene where Harriet has just woken up on the day of her 'meeting her soulmate'. In order to get a close up/birds eye view of Harriet lying in bed, we decided to stand on the bed and hold the camera ourselves instead of using the tripod as it would have been difficult for Megan to move around and act correctly and naturally in the scene. The scene remained dark with only little light coming in, in order to convey an early morning setting.




This image was taken of Ella and I whilst we were filming a long shot of Megan (Harriet), walking out of her house on the way to the "cafe". We were originally going to show this shot through a close up but we decided against it as we thought that considering we had just had a close up of Megan's hand we wanted to show a different shot type for the next bit of the scene.
