Elements Film Opening: Production Day Two



On Monday 27th February 2012 we continued filming only this time with Jess who plays the characters 'Scarlett' in the opening. There were different weather changes as it was late afternoon and the sun was out, but the last shoot it was darker. This did not effect the filming though as we waited for the clouds to pass the sun in order to get the correct lighting.

I started to film at the beach in which are character (Scarlett played by Jess) is sitting before receiving a text and walking off. Pete wanted to make the shots perfect and improve on last times shoot with the other two protagonists. I was picking up much of the wind through the cameras microphone as we were near the sea but I only shot when it had calmed down. I and the others wanted to keep mainly on 'eye line' with this character so the audience could connect with her in a way, much like the other protagonists in the film. 


I was very worried about filming on the bridge, me and the others had to be very careful of not revealing where we shot Zoe and Effie's scenes as they were not there this day. As it was getting later and the sun was drawing to a close I had to quickly film these scenes in order of the continuity to be right from the last shoot. Again we wanted to keep eye level with Jess as much as possible so we did so. The day overall was a success and we had a discussion (Pete and Ash) after the shoot, organising what we could do about the sound during the editing and came to the conclusion that with out getting rid of it, just change the audio volume and gain in order of not to much distortion during the scene.
