Second Day Filming

 On the second day, we focused on only the chess and the gameplay that way we didn't have to redraw Kim's facial hair. We had an outline that we wanted to put Kim's king in check by my pawn, hence the title The King and the Pawn. How we were going to do this was the problem since we wanted to abide to the rules of chess, but it was difficult to create a move that involved putting the king in check and then putting my king in checkmate shortly after. 

We decided first we should just play out a game of chess so we had footage of the board and us playing. Me and Brendan discussed attempting a double exposure edit for the chess move footage in order to tie as much footage into the few seconds of the film we have. Below is an example of what Brendan had in mind.


What I had in mind was more of a montage of moves layered on top of one another with each fading in and out. This clip of Spider-Man (2002) is what I had in mind. I don't know the exact terminology, but I think what I want to go for is a simple dissolve transition.

For the final move we had two different versions of the move, one that was on the standstill tripod, and the other that was a close-up, tracking shot of the move being played.
