Production log 13 & 14

Throughout the two weeks holiday me and my partner aimed to finish filming our entire footage, which was quite successful. We followed our plan and managed to finish it off within two days, On the first day we filmed all the outdoor footage which turned out quite impressive, mainly due to the typical British weather conditions. The weather on this day was rainy, dark and dismal which went perfectly with our British social realism theme as it emphasized the depressing reality of the working class peoples lifestyle. The outdoor footage is almost our entire opening sequence, so the fact that we managed to finish filming all of it within 2/3 hours was a great accomplishment for me and my partner. On the second day, we filmed the rest of our opening sequence which was all the indoor footage, which was our main character 'Ayesha's' household. The house we filmed in was quite clean and tidy which was quite a mission for my partner and I as we had to make it look as rough and messy as we could, so that it can represent the theme of 'poverty' evidently. As soon as we created the set of our filming the way we wanted it to be; portraying hardship and poverty, we started filming our scene. This indoor footage was entirely Faiza playing the role of Ayesha's mother. We see Ayesha's mother praying dressed in a burka(religious gown), this represents the main theme of our film; 'Religion'. Within this scene you are able to see few religious symbols such as; the Islamic writing on the wall, the quran placed on the window seal and also the prayer Matt. All this extra detail is taken into consideration as it connotes to the audience that Ayesha's family is very religious, which emphasizes Ayesha's rebellious actions of going against it all.

We completed our opening sequence within the two days. overall most of the footage was filmed following the script, although some shots were changed, because we realised other angles and shots would suite certain scenes better.

Here are couple images of the locations we filmed our opening sequence in; Indoor and outdoor.
