The Hangover Project Part 2

Today Park Farm kindly allowed us to use one of their very nice hotel rooms to film the majority of our Hangover opening scene in. Thankfully, at the last minute my friend Vicki said she would stand in and play the role of the bride and Caitlin brought along her parents to play the mother and father of the bride.

The filming went very well and we managed to get it all done in a couple of hours however, we did come across a few problems with lighting but we felt that we would be able to deal with that in the editing stages.

This was the frame that we had the most issues to do with lighting. We pulled the blinds down eventually because of the light streaming through the window which seemed to make the shot a lot more clearer but obviously made it more darker but we decided that we would be able to brighten it up in post production.

We had to move the room around to make it look more similar to the setting in the actual film. Using the DVD of the Hangover, we managed to resemble the set to a fashion using what we could get our hands on.
 




We also made sure that the characters had similar costumes. Here, the mother has an orange jumper and a scarf round her neck like in the film.

Overall, i think the filming went very well today and look forward to editing it all together.
