First Filming Day - 25th January

For the first day of our filming, Paige and I planned to shot 19 indoors scenes in Dani's house. We started filming at 3 o clock, after we had got the customes, hair and make up completed. We started from shot 10, which we found easy to shot because it was a wide angle shot showing the bed and Dani standing next to it. We stood the camera infront of the window, so we had the natural light shining on Dani and the shot. For the next two scenes, 11 and 12, it was really hard to film because the windows reflection dis allowed us to see Dani and Jack through the window, for the time being me and Paige will have to re think the two shots. Scene 15 was a successful shot because we used a low angle camera view to look at Dani, looking at herself in the mirror applying make up. The lighting was also good in this scene as it light up Dani's face well. Scene 16 was okay, but will look better when slowed down, as Dani was ripping a shirt it looked too fast and hard, but slowing it down when editing will make it fit in better with the music. We positioned the camera opposite the side of the bed, so it wasn't too similar to shot 10. Using the voile curtains, and the fairy lights, Me and Paige created a dreamy effect in scene 17 with Paige and Jack. Although, the camera is quite shaky, so we may have to re film this, depending on our feedback. Shot 18 was really good, because we used an over the shoulder shot to show that Dani was shouting at Jack. We reversed this and looked over Dani's shoulder towards Jack shouting back but realised that, when editing, Dani's robe was coming off her shoulder so it did not look continious. We found difficulty in scene 20 because it was hard to do a tracking shot following Dani falling to the floor, so instead we chose to use a zooming in shot to Dani, then we are going to use the transition, fade to black, to see her on the floor looking up. This looks much more effective, and still flows. Me and Paige do not like the shots 25, 26 and 27 because of the prop. We did not have an old fashioned phone, so we used a modern one for the time being. When looking back on it, we decided we are going to re film, but with an old phone. The shots and angles are succesful however.

The first day of filming was succesful, but we were unable to film at 19 indoor shots because we ran out of time- it was getting too dark. However we have got enough scenes to edit and to give a impression of the mood we are going to create in the first cut presentation. In the 2nd day of filming, we will re film any scenes we did not think were done well and film the rest !
