Second Shoot

Yesterday, we did our second shooting session! Everyone arrived promptly [shock, horror!] and we got down to business straight away. It was a very productive session - we were able to film every shot we needed; the shooting script was extremely helpful and we're so grateful we had more of a structure this time! We were lucky also because it was quite bright, therefore we didn't really need to use the Paglights for the first few shots [however, as it got darker we used them in the last two]. Because we were organised, we were able to complete the shots in fewer takes; allowing us to experiment a little with alternate angles and shots we came up with on the spot. I really like the idea of the character waking up from a nightmare in the morning, with the sound of explosions and gun-fire fading in as he tosses and turns [great thinking guys!] Next week, we have to film the News Report and any re-shoots. I am extremely happy with yesterday's shoot; the only thing that was a slight nuisance was the fact that we only have a small camera battery [which ran out during filming so we had to use the mains - good thing we were indoors!] ...Check out the Group Blog for a more detailed account and some pictures!
