Actors & Scenery

We decided for a guy called Finlay to be our actor in this. I think he has the “right look” to be a student who is dedicated to his work.

We also tried to look for locations we could shoot in the school; this would make it easier then having to travel outside of school with all the equipment. As our story board consists of “Andrew” on his computer in the sight of a camera, when we then film him on the camera monitor; this will make it seem that someone is watching him.
As there were no cameras in a classroom where we would film we couldn’t do this. As an alternative we decided it would work if he was outside on a laptop being watched.

We then went around school trying to find symbols that link to our illuminate theme. We tried to find triangles and pictures of eyes, we also looked for cameras as these may be possible settings and we would have 2/3 second shots of cameras and we would put them between the shot of “Andrew”, this would make the opening more symbolic.


Our first shot is a tracking shot of “Andrews” eyes and it tracks away revealing his whole body in a triangle frame. Like the all Seeing Eye symbol. To make this possible I made a triangle frame out of black card and when filming this part we would stick the card over the camera with tape.
