On the second day of shooting, we planned to film the drug deal scene, and a majority of the nighttime 'Final' ending scenes, as well as the initial shot (and introduction) of the Femme Fatale.
We managed to shoot a majority of the drug deal, despite the conversation between the Anti-hero and the drug dealer Dexter, although due to failing light (dying car batteries) and actors having to leave due to prior arrangements, we decided to leave the final talk scene til a later date.
Due to the similar problem of actors leaving early, Danny Adams whom we cast as Raymond left, which meant we wouldn't of been able to film the final scene. Luckily we had Josh Eaton as a back-up who we asked to step in, and luckily did so we were able to film more scenes.
We also decided to alter our choice of pretend drugs to Cocaine, as in terms of plot, it would be easier to fake, as well as make sense that the 'drug dealers' would cut it.
As we were filming the nighttime scenes, we understood we would need more lighting, and so we used Emma's car lights at first, and then Georgia's to take it in turns so as to not run down the battery. We also used spotlights, torches, and the flash on people's phones to enhance specific lighting on people's faces.
In our second location down Pepper Alley, the lamppost gave us a great deal of light to work with and created marvellous silhouetted shapes that we felt met the conventions of the Noir genre in regards to Chiaroscuro lighting with harsh contrasts.
However, we weren't able to finish filming the final scene in the alley as the camera ran out after being on for over 3 hours, so we decided to reschedule for another day.
