Fourth day of filming

Today we did our fourth filming meeting from 4:00pm - 5:00pm, booked all the equipment that we needed (DLSR and tripod) and remembered all the props needed (flannel shirt, black dress with a white cardigan, and the bag).

Here is all the shots that we filmed:
  • We redid the mid shot of the coat for the lyrics 'Leaves her coat' as we realised when editing that Elsie, who is playing the main protagonist, walks past the coat, and this wouldn't make sense as the main girl character had already gone outside.
  • We then did the long shots of the main girl rushing up the stairs and going back to her bedroom. 
  • Next, while in the bedroom we filmed a close up of her dropping the bag on the bed, a mid shot of the girl on the bed with the shirt and then her lying down holding the shirt and looking upset.
  • After that we filmed the instrumental parts where the main girl breaks-down with worry and stress as she does not know where her lover is. Shots we filmed include a close up of the girl hitting the wall and leaving a hole in it, a long shot of the girl throwing the shirt and a pillow, and a mid shot of her looking sad and frustrated.
  • Finally, we filmed a close up of me and Laura holding hands for the lyrics 'to the sound of love'.

What went well:
We were able to film everything we planned on the shooting schedule, and we remembered all the props and equipment needed to film the shots. We used a range of different shot types and angles to make sure that it wasn't boring to watch.  

What could be improved:
 We need to make sure that we've cleared everything in shot as there was a poster in the background of one of the shots and that could make it look less professional. Also, for the shot when Elsie punches the wall we need to improve the match-on-action as when we put the shots together in editing it didn't look like one swift movement. To improve this I will make sure that I don't change the camera angle as much when we go to re-do the shot. 

Here are some screenshots of what we filmed:
