Images of Characters From Posters

These were the pictures we took for the poster, we decided to take a number of pictures as we wanted more options. We decided to go with the first picture as we thought it went well with the title and film. Through the picture we wanted to tell a story and wanted the audience to understand each character. For example by Ali having is shirt undone, the audience will immediately get the impression that he is a show off and has a load of confidence inside him.

Images of Characters From Magazine

These are the different images we had taken for the front cover of our magazine article. We went for the first image as the front cover of our magazine as we though it went well with the title and the point we was trying to get across to the audience. With Tatiana being in the middle and Rahil and Ali being on both sides we thought that it worked well, as Tatiana is the centre of attention in the film.

Club Scene

Scene 2 of our short film is a club scene. To make the setting of this scene more realistic, we decided that it would be best to go and film this scene in a real club.
However we came across some problems that made this impossible for us to do.
We went to go to Soho as there are a lot of gay clubs and pubs and it is in Central London so the location was perfect. We tried to get permission from various gay clubs around but we did not succeed. One of the problems was that Ali is not 18 years-old yet so he would not have been allowed inside the club. The biggest issue however was that we found that gay people are very sensitive and defensive of their space and they did not like the idea of us filming around them.


We had to come up with a place to film this scene and make the setting look realistic in order to get the expected reaction from our audience. This became a problem again, as creating a club-like setting wit all the lights, loud music, drinks and amount of people would be very hard to accomplish productively.


We remember that there is a Green room with lights and curtains set up and we thought this would be the best place to film this.




After filming the club scene we were worried that it wasn't realistic enough so we decided to edit it and play it to our audience to see what they thought and what reaction we got from it. By doing this we realised that it was good enough and although there were a few thins we could have added to make it better, such as drinks and better music quality, we got the reaction we expected from our audience.

Where We Decided To Film

We decided to base the majority of our film in a house, as that fits the storyline. Tatiana's house was perfect as it was available and it is close to High Street Kensington. We needed a place with a good night life and that could be recognised by our audience so High Street Kensington was perfect in that sense. We decided to base most of our filming in a house as the storyline we produced will match the location perfectly because the main and most important scenes will happen in the house due to the fact as the story evolves when one of the characters has a free house as his parents have gone on a vacation. Another location we picked is High Street Kensington as it is very famous area with a good nightlife and as the characters will be going out during the night High Street Kensington is the perfect match as it also has nightclubs and the story will seem more realistic.

Why We Decided To Use Night Vision......

We decided to film the beginning of the short film in night vision as it was too dark to film. The scene we filmed in night vision was when Rahil, Ali, and Baker were coming back from the gay club. When we started filming it we realised that there wasn't enough light on the characters. However we found out that there was a night vision mode and thought that was the only way the characters were able to be seen. The night vision affect made it more clear, as before it was too dark. The audience would have had difficulties knowing what is happening in the scene.


The ending was also done in night vision. When Ali turns of the light the camera zooms into the paper, and a hand appears from out of no were. The night vision enables the audience to see more clearly as the ending was a crucial part of the short film. If the audience did not see the hand appear then the film would have not made sense and they wouldn't have understood the twist.
