On the shoot day, I was in charge of the props, location, how the scene would look like. I also created and developed the plot for our opening sequence, along with Matt, who helped us out through the the filming day.
Me and Liza went to the Theater department, to get the props, we needed for our opening sequence. We managed to find Artificial blood, make up, fake guns, crime investigation tape, leather jackets and spoon, to spill blood on the walls.  
Not to mention, than I also collected disinfection gloves from the Art department. So, everyone took it very professionally and were prepared in advance. 
In my opinion, I particularly did well in acting, although, I've never done it before.
I had to play a very cheeky crime inspector, who was apparently very good at doing his job. As I reference, we used a scene from Hard Boiled, starring John Woo as an inspector. 
When, I woke up in the morning, before the shoot day, I was very excited. I brought a leather jacked along with Blue Bay glasses, as I was not only filming, but also playing a detective. I also went down to the Art rooms and collected some disinfection gloves, so I look more like a real inspector.

We made a plan of what will go into the block, and I drew a little sketch of how it would look. 

We would place the body behind the bike, and the gun would go on top of the building, where it would be discovered by the inspector. The concept created was very strong and gave out a real atmosphere of a crime scene.
This is the mid shot, from the roof of the block, where the gun would be placed. 




Evaluation


I am going to tell you about our shooting day, what went according to plan, what didn't, and how did it go, in general.


Before the actual "Judgement day"
 we went to study our potential location, which was a shipping block, with lots of garbage inside, which we eventually cleaned out or used to suit our purpose.

We had to clean out the dirt,and move away the drums, as they did not suit our story and looked quite comic and misplaced.

Moreover, we used broken glass, fake blood and tape to create a sense of crime scene.

Designing sets
Set design, which is sometimes referred to as scenic design, refers to the design and creation of the sets used in works of performance art, including movies and plays. At times, designing these sets may be as simple as arranging a few simple pieces of furniture on a stage. Other times, however, it may be as complicated as recreating a complex location, such as the inside of a spaceship, with limited materials. Of course, for our shooting session e do not need any especial settings. However, we still need to create the atmosphere of living room. And some furniture will help to do that.
