The technical side of things.....

So, since I will be filming my product in autumn, I'm limited in some aspects of the production which I am unable to do anything about. One such instance of this is the autumnal weather. It is likely to either be raining (that fine rain that soaks you through) or that strangely settleing 'cold but sunny' weather on the days of filming. This means that we will most likely be limited to shooting on cold but sunny days, however this is not a problem as I quite like the idea of the autumn colours, the reds, browns and dark yellows that come from fallen leaves, dusky skies and cups of tea. The mise en scene may seem quite sombre and bleak, however I think this will add to the normal, everyday tone that i'm going for. I'm looking for mostly natural lighting throughout, however towards the end I might film at night in order to create a sense of continuation and a sense that the film has gone somewhere and has some kind of order to it. In that case, i'll be using the lighting of the metro and the station, which comes on automatically at a certain time. I'm yet to decide on if it'l be high key or low key lighting. I've also got a couple of new ideas for the kind of shots i'd like to use in my film. I've come up with the idea that the opening shot can be a pan that shows the character walking up the ramp to the station. I would then like to replicate it going the other way, but in the evening or at night. This will signify a journey that has been undertaken and the things that have been seen, however this will also imply that it's just another normal day on the Metro system.
