extra filming - 20th March

After my first edit of my film it became apparent that the long shot of the basement was good in its intended metaphorical impact, however it was too long and became boring. I decided to get my dad to pose as Matthew as he is older and just like the character, he is a father. What I decided to do was shoot several shots establishing why Matthew is in the mess he is in.

We went to Wimbledon Dog Track along with my uncle Bob. He was to pose as one of Vinces gang who takes the money. We did several shots which included.

* A close-up of Matthews wallet full of money.














* A two shot of Matthew handing money to one of Vince's men rather than a regular bookmaker.














* A short sequence of Matthew watching the greyhounds run.


















* A mid shot of Matthew ripping up a ticket, showing yet another loss.















* A close up of Matthews empty wallet showing that he is out of money.














* A low angle mid shot of Matthew on his and his wifes bed looking desperate and annoyed at himself showing his desperation and that he has a problem and a family.
