Filming, Part 2
This time we shot during the same timeframe, but the changing seasons had an effect.
The aims for this shoot were to:
-film the opening sequence
-film the encounter between the two characters over the dead body
What I achieved:
I refilmed the entire opening scene with more meaningful scene compositions. I am happy with these new shots and I tried my best to make sure they matched my original vision.
Here's a test video.
What I didn't:
The biggest problem we encountered today was the limited time span. We got off to a bad start with terrible traffic on the way to the shoot. We intended to begin filming at 4:30, but it was past 4:45 when we arrived. When we finished the different takes for the opening sequence, all the cast and crew were also tired.
When we started filming the scene on the deck location, it was about 5:45. It was getting dark quickly, and unfortunately a few crew members had left, so I had to manage directing and camera work myself- this was hard as the actors weren't too sure of what they had to do. To add to the frustration, the deck was incredibly restricted in space, so there was not enough space for camera movement, with the boom mic attached.
We finished filming at around 6:30. It was too dark, the image was grainy, and the actors exhausted. We did not get a complete scene filmed.
However, we have two days off school, and I have organised filming for the 8th of November 2018.
