Last day of shooting

Last Friday (26th I think?) we had our last shoot and despite having to hear the song TWELVE times I think it went okay. We've captured the footage today (well Angelie did, I had to do a Politics essay) but it looks much better than our previous two performance shoots. We also followed Jake's advice and filmed some self-help scenes to make it more obvious what we were trying to portray.

Tonight I stayed for p7 and started t o create our performance bed, so hopefully that'll be done soon!

More shooting reflections

On Friday we did a bit of shooting, by the time everyone had arrived and changed we really only had an hour and we were still pretty unsure about the location (in the end we opted for a train station and just hoped no one would notice and kick us out). I think we should have been more organised than that, but we did get a lot of what we wanted to get done finished, we only have one or two shots we'd like to shoot again which I think Melissa & Angelie are going to do on Tuesday (I'm in Bristol for the day so can't help, but will make up for it sometime!).

Today (Sunday) we had our big shoot where we did almost every shot except 2 which we can do at any time really. We were far more organised today in terms of knowing what we wanted, and Jazmin & Melissa were making good suggestions that we tried out (for example using my brother to knock the bag). However I feel that I was probably a bit lazy in terms of shooting today because I'm so burnt out from spending every spare moment doing Media (however much I love it) as well as juggling everything else and making sure my house is ready to use for shoots. I will rectify this in future, I believe the next shoot I will be on is Wednesday afternoon.

Also, after discussions with Jazmin & Melly we've decided to avoid shooting next weekend if we can, we'd all rather do it during the week because it's easier and we seem to mess around less then =]

Second day of shooting

Today we were a bit pressed for time, Jazmin had to be back at school, but in the 40 minutes we had we got a good 20 minutes footage. We're planning on capturing as much as we can tomorrow before our next shoot tomorrow night.
We had better lighting today which cast far less shadows so hopefully the footage will be better than yesterday's.

First day of shooting

Today we had our first shoot and it wasn't too bad after the lighting/camera issues. We got some good footage but we do need to get a lot more shots of Jazmin moving, being more animated and CUs. We're shooting again tomorrow so hopefully we can get all the stuff we need then.

We also began to edit the performance bed (as Jake Wyn said to do) tonight and seem to have quite a lot of snippets we like from today, but as I said we still need a lot more
