Extra Scene

Recently I have had some construction done to my garage and around the backyard, with the construction it has left a large amount of rubble and because of this we all thought “why waste an opportunity?” as the rubble increased the audience perception of what has happened. Large quantities of the world or at least an area have been decimated with the meteor hit.

With this in mind we started coming up with ideas of what should be included with the rubble, we at first thought to use it as a simple cutaway but we came to the conclusion that considering everything is shot indoors that having a random outside shot would pull away from the narrative.  From there we came up with the idea that possibly Tom and Luke may be there or crossing over it but there wasn’t enough damage done for these two to do much.

We eventually came up with the idea with someone else completely absent from the narrative passing this area, a guy in a hazmat suit. And whilst crossing over picks up something symbolic to innocence being destroyed such as a teddy bear.

The next day we arranged to purchase everything we required, such as outfit and gasmask, luckily one of our tutors had a gasmask available for us. However we forgot to purchase or acquire a small teddy bear and didn’t realise until we were back on location ready to film, so we decided to use the blade that Tom picks up before leaving. This would be a little teaser for the audience hinting that they didn’t make it or got into some trouble which they lost it.

Unfortunately it started to rain which slowed us down slightly but we realised it could add more to the scene, makes it more glum and miserable. For this I was on camera as I imagined on how it was meant to appear, Lewis was on sound and Jordan was in the hazmat suit. We did have some difficulties with keeping the mask on as it was old and the straps where broken but eventually sellotape it into place.

Once we did that we decided to keep Jordan in the suit and take a couple of pictures which would be used for out catalogue picture. Below are the images we took. 

 

 

 

With a bit of editing, we decided to make this our catalogue photo for the exibition.
