shoot day: 1ST DECEMBER 2009

On the 1st December the weather was good enough to do the second half of our shoot that we couldn't do due to weather restrictions on our scheduled shoot day. Around 2pm, we packed up the equipment into a car and drove 10 minutes to our location in the woods. The equipment we used was the JVC1500E camera, tripod, two red heads, two generators and extension leads. We set up the scene in the woods with the lightbulbs and ran through with chloe (girl in the narrative) whilst it was still light. When the darkness started to fall around 4pm we began to shoot the scenes with chloe following the lightbulbs. As a production team; we worked well together and alternated roles of director, camera operator and holding the cables from the lights away from the camera. We all let our own views be made clear which in most cases helped and due to us working well together it made the shoot day effective and take a shorter amount of time. We tried to follow the shot list as much as possible; however, when we felt necessary we shot various other shots that we felt would increase the amount of the shots we would have to edit in post-production. Overall this second shoot was very successful as the scene we created looked very effective and we had created the brand for our band that we had aimed.
