We managed to film the remainder of the flashback scenes that we required today, as well a successfully gaining a range of images for potential use with our magazine advert and CD packaging.
I met up with my group and the actors in the common room at lunch, at led them to Victoria Park, roughly 10 minutes away. The lighting on the day was much better than we were hoping for, as the sky was fairly clear and the sunlight was quite strong. Unfortunately though, it was quite cold so we felt that we couldn't keep the actors out for too long in just vests and thin cotton shirts, so we did rush the process a little bit, which may potentially have affected the quality of the visuals we produced. We will review and import this next lesson, but the likelihood of being able to film again is slim, so we will more than likely just have to work with what we've got.
The filming process went relatively smoothly, and there didn't seem to be any major problems or complications. By now, we had grown to be incredibly familiar with the equipment, each assuming an equal hands on approach throughout the group. The filming process was a lot faster due to the lack of rigid narrative structure to be followed: we had basic outlines and ideas, but we wanted to promote realism and the natural theme, so allowed the charismatic nature of the actors to transgress in the visuals.
We managed to capture a great deal of photographs between the three of us, and so we will have a wide range of shots to choose from when it comes to creating our ancillary texts. I think this is important as it allows us some freedom and movement in our ideas, instead of being stuck with one single image which would ruin the whole effect should there be some fault with it.
These are a sample of images I took today:
