Context:
On November 28th, we filmed our second scene. Although this scene was very short, it was very difficult to film. The scene consists of three shots, each approximately 2-4 seconds long. The only problem is that this scene shows the workers inside the ship's machinery. Since our director decided to use Legos and miniature sets (something that was easier to recreate, but not to film), we had to adapt all our resources to very small sets.
Legos are easy to film and handle; the only problem, as I mentioned, is that we had to film the ship's machinery from the inside and the workers working with coal.

Preparing the Mise-en-Scène:
We filmed most of the scenes at our editor's house. She is very creative; when we told her we needed a set to film that scene, she immediately had an idea and got to work preparing it. His idea was to film in the oven (obviously turned off). I thought it was a good idea, and so did our director.
We already had the location to film, but we needed the characters and a background as close to the real thing as possible. I came up with the idea of using a Lego submarine we had, since the machinery was similar, and it didn't really have to be identical because we're making a Swede. Our editor's brother also helped us prepare everything; he made the machinery that moved (the machinery was moved manually). Oh, and I almost forgot, we used the Lego sailor figures we had for the characters.
