Review of the day:
10:15am: Our second shot was a mid shot of Hermit putting his slippers on. Only Davids feet and slippers where required for this shot. Again, pulling off this shot was easy enough once we directed David how to put his feet into his slippers most effective way.
10:25am: Shot three was of Hermit standing up and stretching. We did have a small problem when doing this shot as the natural light coming through the windows was making the shot particularly bright. The solution to our problem was reducing the ISO on the camera as this decreased the amount of light in the shot making the brightness match with the previous shots.
10:40am: After we have conquered shot 3, we then began shooting shot 4 which was a close up of Hermit walking down stairs. We set the tripod up at the bottom of the stairs and made sure that it was equally balanced so that the shot wasn't slanted. When we had done this we filmed the shot a few times so each member of the group could have a go at filming and to make sure that we had enough shots that could be used.
10:55am: Our next shot was a close up of cereal been poured into a bowl for Hermits breakfast. Even though this sounds simple enough we had to shoot it a couple of times so that the cereal fallen out of the box fluently. As previous attempts of this shot had individual pieces of cereal missing the bowl and not coming out go the cereal box.
11:10am: Shot six was another close up of Hermit walking back up stairs. Once we had positioned the tripod correctly we got this shot done rather quickly. But just for security we did take a few shots of it to make sure we had options incase there was problems with some of the shots.
11:17am: Shot seven was a mid shot of Hermits wardrobe showing the selection of clothed which he could choose from. We used our first shot for this shot as it didn't require any more time being spent on it.
11:20am: We then moved on to shot eight which was of Hermit buttoning up his shirt. Once the tripod was at the appropriate height we done the shot with no difficulty.
11:30am: Our ninth shot was a mid shot of Hermit putting his trousers on. We had to film this shot a few times as we had problems getting the tilt right and making it the right pace. But after a couple of attempts we finally got our shot.
11:40am: Shot 10 was a close up of hermit lacing up his shoes. This was a quick shot to imply that he was ready and about to go out. We completed this shot easy enough.
11:50am: Shot 11 was an exterior shot that was meant to be a tracking shot going backwards away from Hermits front door, however Robbie's drive was quite narrow so we decided a tracking shot would be pointless. In the end the shot turned into a mid shot of Hermit walking out of the door, pulling it to but not fully, looking at his watch to imply was he was in a rush, walking off and then having to come back to shut the door properly. We had to shoot this this shot a few times because of the ISO being to high and because our actor needed some direction. In the end after a few attempts we captured our desired shot.
Evaluation of Day: On the whole, the day was successful as there was barely any problems and the little problems that there was we came up with effective solutions. Also as a group we all worked well and filmed the shots quicker than we expected to.
