Group: Shoot #3

This was our final shoot. It was the last opportunity for us to get the shots which we had encountered problems with- as we have had several issues throughout the production process.

We had a list of 8 shots to get, one of which was not possible due to the fact that the contact lenses were not useable, but we made do. This time we were more careful, yet again, with the lighting.

We collected all of the necessary clips, careful to include motion for continuity's sake.

We have finished filming.

Group: Shoot #2

We encountered an issue with this shoot, as one of the actors became unavailable. Nevertheless we went in order to get the clips which only featured Cameron. This will mean that we need to do one shoot, very last minute, but we have no other choice- we have the majority of our footage.
 
This time we were more careful to aim and angle the lighting so as to capture expression more readily and provide the emotional imagery, thus allowing the audience to empathise. The lighting did make a very big difference- our shots are clearer, and the ones that have been redone greatly exceed the quality of the first attempt.
 
Reece has been able to start planning for the montage shots, and is playing with the software 'after Effects' for titles. We got several clearer images of the notebook, with space left for titles to be incorporated.

One of the lights still holds too much precedence in some shots, so we will use Photoshop in order to reduce this.

We have 12 shots left to capture.

Group: First Shoot

On Sunday (the 26th) we went to our location to film.

Timings and access to the building were organised by Gwen. We were in on time and set up the area, taking into account mise en scene and adjusting lighting. The actors were made up and the antagonist was given her dress and blue contact lenses.

We filmed the majority of the footage that we required, starting with the montage shots. In a number of cases it required adjustment of lighting which Joe was mainly responsible for, working with reflection and movement of the lighting units.The writing shots are a little too unfocused so will need to be reshot on the coming weekend shoot.

We worked efficiently, with Gwen directing, Reece on camera and Joe contributed in both senses. All but 5 or 6 shots were captured, then we encountered a problem with the equipment i.e. the camera fell and both the led screen and lens were broken, thus halting the shoot. The camera was insured and has been sent off for repairs, we will all contribute to pay off the excess. In the next shoot we will use a different piece of equipment, so the quality of the image will not be exactly the same, but we will just persevere.

Having reviewed the footage, we have decided on several shots that need to be done as fillers, as well as other techniques to use to make more of an impact- for example, at the end, instead of revealing the items, then getting the protagonists reaction, we will get the reaction shot first then reveal the items.
