Review of the Day
3:30 - We quickly set up the tracking dolly and all the actors got into their costumes, put their masks on and we spent 10 mins explaining to them their emotion and what we want them to do in the scene.
3:40 - We then had a problem due to the lighting, we wanted it to appear as if the characters were in a cinema, but we couldn't get the right lighting because it was either too bright or too dark. This became a big problem, so we had to get the technician who helped us find the right lighting. When we found the right lighting we shot scene a few times. It was a simple shot but we tried it over and over so we could get the best outcome.
4:10 - We realised we wanted the lighting to appear as if they were watching a film, so we got out the LED light and the reflector and reflected the flickering light onto the reflector which reflected on to the actors faces. We tried this many times in different ways so we would get the best outcome.
4:20 - All the actors apart from Hermit then left. Then we shot the same scene again, but with Hermit on his own. This was easier because we didn't have to rely on that many people and we had got used to the lighting and the camera work.
Evaluation of the day
Today's shooting went really well. We were very strict on time because the actors had places to be, and we had to be out the theatre by 4:30 so we wanted to get everything finished in time. This was fine until the problem with the lights came and we lost a lot of time sorting the problem out, but when the problem was sorted we got plenty of shots and we are very pleased with the outcome of the day.
