Production: Shooting the vomit scene

Today we shot a scene of one of our characters vomiting into the toilet, for our second public service broadcast. We shot the scene through a close-up point of view shot which was faced down into the toilet as the character vomited. We also used the diegetic sound of vomiting noises to make the scene more realistic. All of us stuck to our roles (example: Megan as director, and I was filming). As listed in the props section of our pre-production booklet, we used a can of soup as the vomit. 

The shot went very well after struggling to get the camera in a position of not having the can of soup in shot. We also struggled to get the actors hair in shot, as suggested we would in the storyboard, so we may have differed slightly to the origional idea explained on the storyboard. We are all very happy with the lessons work.

Next we hope to work on shooting an actor infront of a green screen for the first PSB idea we had (mine). We also plan to start shooting the hospital and letter background. All of these will be shot at John Mason School's drama studio.
