review of filming day four


On Thursday we had or fourth and final day of shooting. We only had to film Dan’s narrative today as he was the only one who couldn’t make it on any of the other days we were filming narrative. The first problem we encountered was trying to find a time we were all free to shoot, luckily we could all do Thursday afternoon. For Dan’s scene we wanted to film a ballerina dancing around and near him, for this we needed a quite big open space. Finding the big open space proved to be a bit more difficult than we predicted.  After around 10-15 of walking around our location we found the almost perfect spot. The only problem’s with this spot was that it had houses in the background and cars so we had to make sure we didn’t film any angles that had them in shot. The other very slight problem was the floor was covered in foliage, so we had to clear the floor space to enable the ballerina to be able to balance and also to reduce risk. We found applying the make up to the ballerina no problem at all as we knew how we wanted it and how to do it. We found the filming the scene once all set up fairly problem free, as we had story boarded in depth, and planned exactly what we want and how we want it to happen. The only slight problem with the filming was trying to find level ground to put the tripod onto. The fact that  people had to go and couldn’t stay for too long we may were not able to get as much footage as we would have liked, however what we did get should be sufficient.
