We chose our location by thinking about an appropriate place for a couple to go when they wanted a serious talk. The only place I could think of was either over dinner/ lunch or in a park. We both came to a conclusion that a park would be a good idea as the playground in our school looked like a park, so we chose a bench in the school's playground to film our scene.
We filmed the 180 degree rule by Sean always sticking to the left side unless he was filming the reverse shot. We also did the match-on action rule by cutting some parts that we not necessary, for example whilst Alban was walking towards me we cut it so it didn't take up too much time, we then made sure the shot after followed on smoothly so people were unaware we made a cut.
We adapted our initial idea quite a bit. One main thing we had to adapt to was that two members from our groups were absent so we had to ask around for anyone to act in our piece, as there was only two of us, Alban offered to help us and became the boy in our short scene. We also added some shots in whilst we was filming because we felt they made the story more clear and more effective, for example we added a shot in of Alban throwing the ring on the floor, to make sure the audience were definitely clear that he was going to ask me to marry him. We also added a pan into a shot because it made it flow more than always stopping and starting.
