38.) Filming 16/11/15

We filmed at three different locations on Monday which were:

• Gainsborough studios - we managed to stick to the storyboard and got what we wanted. The weather at the point we were filming was really windy which made it hard to get footage that wasn't shaking. But we know that when we begin editing because the footage we got will be cut up you won't be able to pick up any weather related problems. 

         We filmed a few (as we like to call it) non performance 'filler' shots at Gainsborough              Studios to show  S.Dot and J together walking and talking. Shots such as these are              important for us because we want to show the relationship between the two artists as            two young people that have feelings for each other.

• Shoreditch - we decided to get more footage from this location because we felt like we didn't have enough close up shots but thankfully we managed to get a variety of different close up shots. Each one working very well and will be a definite possibility when editing. However we faced a few minor difficulties with lighting at Shoreditch as the natural lighting made S.Dot appear washed out but once we used the portable lighting equipment we were able to fix this issue.

• Millennium Bridge - Filming on the Millennium bridge on a Monday evening was so much better than when we tried to film before on a Saturday evening. There were less people which meant that we were able to shoot our performance base tracks consistently without any major disruptions. Our only problem came with the lighting which didn't come out strong enough hitting only one side of our artists. But we still managed to get shots that were in good lighting and were well received by the camera.

The costume in this location was great as our artists were well contrasted from the natural lighting of our location. They stood out from everything else which made them the main focus of our footage as we wanted. We don't use props in any of our locations aside from what creates our synergy for our artists. And so that would be our rings and S.dot's glasses; we did really well in getting shots of these and focusing on them. 

The shots were very successful and we managed to complete all the necessary base tracks that needed to be filmed in different areas. We're really happy so far with everything we have especially the shots of our synergy objects.

Filming in the studio 

We managed to film a few base tracks in the studio but ran out of time and need more base tracks of the artists together and interacting with one another. We plan to get this done early next week.
