7th Day of Filming - Park scene (22/11/2010) by Diranjeet Sohi

This day of filming was the last day until we moved onto the editing process. We found
a perfect location in Buckhurst Hill, which again was chosen for its tranquility. The playground scene was supposed to again depict the isolation the bear feels. We placed our main bear on one swing, and another bear beside him. I pushed the other bear on the swing, while the main bear had no one to push him. The way in which we filmed this scene would certainly pull at the heartstrings of the audience. We used a variety of shots and framing to give a stuffed object, emotion. Close ups conveyed the bear's sadness that the other bear was loved. Moreover, we decided to include the suicide note scene at the playground.

We taped a pencil to the inside of the bear's paw. So when we made him write it looked
as if he were doing it himself. We hit the problem of the 180 degree rule, which meant we had to film this scene again. Our very last shot was of the entire playground, empty. This was not in the storyboard however we needed an extra shot just in case we needed to introduce the setting.
