For our second day of filming we again created an individual shot list for this specific scene so that we could quickly and efficiently get the shots we needed.
There was a lot of set dressing which needed to be done to transform the dining room into a convincing restaurant scene. Before we made our changes the room looked like this:
Once we had finished dressing the set we were pleased with the results and thought we had created a convincing restaurant that looked aesthetically pleasing on camera. Our cast were also dressed appropriately for the scene, tying the whole thing together.
We ran into a few issues when dressing our set. One of these problems was that the table cloth we wanted to use was very creased and did not fit the look of a real restaurant, to solve this problem we had to iron the tablecloth.
Once everything was prepared to a standard that we were pleased with, we began to film. In these photographs it can be seen that the lighting is quite dark, this is because often in restaurants they keep the lighting low for a romantic atmosphere, we wanted to follow this to keep our scene romantic.
