Day one of filming

I collected the camera, dolly and tripod from school before and then went to my grandad's to collect the lighting. When I got back my main girl and boy actors were waiting for me so I had to quickly set up everything.

I started with taking a few pictures for my digipack and future props for the video.

Filming was quite easy, except I did have to compromise a few shots due to needing a wider lens and filming it from a study higher angle for the establishing shots. I also found that in my sketches I have overestimated the size of my room so some of the panning shots with the dolly were hard to get smooth and navigate throughout the room.

Millie and Ben were really professional and easy to direct so I was very pleased with my casting. However, I may have to re-shoot some of the shots of Ben lip-syncing as he found it hard to grasp the lyrics. I'm excited to see some of the detailed shots of the smoke and such as I think they'll be really effective, especially with the lighting.

I need to look over all the footage but I’m confident that most of the room footage is complete. I just need to shoot a couple more shots of the room and details of the room.
