One of the first scenes we actually shot was the change-over scene between Bonnie and a mysterious character, this is happening while Detective Carter is questioning Bobby Dents about the heist that Bonnie told him about. We set off first thing in the morning (with me driving and Antonia directing) until we came to this gorgeous little road just outside Bygrave, a small village near our home town. What was great about this day is that is was really foggy which gave the setting/background a really ominous feel. This is pathetic fallacy of the scene's events, and it gives a perfect mysterious feel to the scene which is exactly what we wanted as it suits the conventions of the film noir genre.
This photograph is of Antonia directing me, it shows that we are working well as a team to get the perfect shot that we need to try and make it look professional. Unfortunately we used two different cameras on the day of shooting because one ran out of battery, however when using the the other camera we found afterwards that the camera's SD card had become corrupt meaning that we couldn't get any of the footage off of it. (Major panic for us) Luckily the first camera had a few shots that we could use, otherwise we would have either had to either re-shoot or cut the scene all together. You can also see Bonnie's outfit from this picture which is mainly a long red dress, this is important as she does have to pretend to be innocent any longer - her mischievous and lusty side come out. She also has simple conventional 
femme fatale make-up on (eye-liner, blush and bright red lip-stick) and thick curls to bring out here sexual features. She also is wearing a faux-fur shawl to signify wealth/power, which is like the fur jacket she was wearing earlier in the film, the fact she is wearing less fur and showing off more of her body is showing she wants to be seen as a more sexual figure to the audience. She also wears black heels to contrast with the red, and a hat with a netted veil covering part of her face, the fact she is now wearing a hat first shows she now has the power in the film and second the veil shows she has something to hide (She is not all that she seems).

We had two main props, one envelope that i found at home, it had many stamps on it meaning it could have been important/from overseas - in this scene it would have maybe had a check or cash in it so bonnie gets away with the money for the drugs she hands over. She hands over the drugs (Smack) in a small brown leather case. We found this case in the school's drama cupboard and thought it so perfect for the scene, it is classy enough for Bonnie to be carrying - however the leather and the style is authentic enough to be from this time period. This picture also shows me and Toby posing in a jokey way to show the close friendship everyone in our group has. Toby was dressed in a suit like all other men in our film as conventional of most film noirs. Me and Toby also did almost like a vlog post, describing our filming on that day...i couldn't get it onto my blog because of the camera deleting we couldn't transfer it so here is the link to Antonia's blog post... http://antoniafilmnoir.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/film-noir-changeover-scene.html :)
