filming session day 2

Today we had planned to continue filming from Thursday. Instead of slush and snow conditions, there was heavy rain and no trace of snow or ice. This meant we had to start the filming process from virtually the beginning; otherwise we would have had noticeable inconsistencies that were too obvious when we need to match-cut. So we started and finished filming at the barbican, we had a little more trouble filming with the rain and an issue of permission but we dealt with both issues effectively and finished with time to spare. It helped we had done most of the filming on Thursday.

The difference we made to today’s filming was that at the end, when the hooded man (David) follows the man who had been waiting (Teddy), the main man (Emre) looks at the situation, opens the briefcase happily to find a ringing mobile phone.

In case we did not our original thoughts on film, we thought of alternative options and filmed another ending just in case these first ideas were not good. The difference is that Emre will be looking in the Briefcase and grinning. The footage will not show the contents of the briefcase to the audience.
