Rizal and David argues
Filming location : Nabila's house, SS14
This scene is where David and Rizal argues about Nabila. As usual, Kim was incharge of filming. For our first few takes, we decided to film a neutral shot *Eye-level shot*. This shot is when the camera is level or looking straight on
with the subject... *Refer to image below *
However, after taking much into consideration. We decided that this is not a suitable angle to film. In my opinion, I think that angle is a bit too cliche.I feel that neutral shots has little to no psychological effect on the
viewer. I also think that the background is too busy and viewers may tend to lose their focus on the main subject of the scene. Kim suggested that we take close up shots as It focuses more onto Rizal and David's expression during the arguing scene. We tried to incorporate a scene from the a Noir film called "Kiss of Death" (1947).

In the end, we decided to try a technique called " over the shoulder shot " or " third-person shot ". It is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The reason why we decided to choose this technique is mainly because filming over an actor's shoulder focuses the audience's attention on one
actor at a time in a conversation, rather than on both.
We took quite long filming this
as there were many talking parts in this scene. It was really difficult as the
script wasn't easy to memorize. We were under so much of pressure trying to
finish up this scene.There were times where we ended up laughing and making
jokes to entertain and keep ourselves awake.hahaha XP.

Flashback scene
Filming location : a park at SS14
This scene is where David has flashback memories of when Kim was explaining to him about the job that his father left for him. We went to the park just right behind Nabila's house which we think was suitable for the scene.Well, nothing beats the scenery of mother nature..with all the greens surround us :). Many people think that Noir films are mostly filmed during the night..but I personally think It's not necessary.Having natural light from the Sun also gives out a nice lighting effect.We couldn't really decide on which angle was the most suitable..therefore..we just experimented with all sorts of angles for this scene.During the filming at the park, there were loads of distractions that we
had to overcome!.. kids...dogs barking..birds chirping..goshhh. ..our patience
level was really tested at that moment. Despite all the distractions, we still
managed to finish filming the flashback scene..yayy! :)
