We chose our location based on what our scene was about. As we were doing a hospital scene, we couldn’t use a standard classroom full of educational posters, as this wouldn’t really go with the story. For this reason, we chose to use the meeting room. This was an ideal location as the room had a white board and separate chairs just like a real waiting room. For this reason, the location suited my film well.
We filmed the 180degree rule by only staying on the one side of the characters. This was done by ensuring the doctor was always on the left, and the female character was always on the right. This ensured we only stayed on one side and kept within the 180 degrees. The match-on-action was filmed by showing the door handle moving (with a bit of the doctors lab in the window), the shot then flicked over to the woman, and back to the door, but this time the doctor had fully entered the room. This is match-on-action as we didn’t see the doctor enter, but we assume he did because the door handle went and the door started to open, insinuating someone entering.
We adapted our original ideas because we used a white board which wasn’t planned. On this white board we wrote the doctors names and jobs just like a real hospital. We also re-arranged the chairs in order to look a bit more like the way a waiting room is set up. This helped to make the scene more convincing. We included a prop at last minute; the doctors lab coat. We used this to make the doctor character look more realistic and look like he was a true doctor on the ward.
