Production Shoot: 27/10/12

Saturday 27^th October 

Today, we found a river bed that acted as a nice location for some environment focused shots to get across a post apocalyptic feel, as the sky was very grey and it began to rain. We managed to capture the rain and the mood came across well, but because of the rain we had to shield the camera from it to avoid any damage. We could have waited for the rain to die down or perhaps use an effect in Pinnacle which would have been easier perhaps. We have decided that next time, should it rain, that we will use an umbrella to keep the camera out of the rain; this is simpler and more effective, although sound may be affected by the impact of the rain on the umbrella.

At the river bed I was filmed with Tom mostly as our characters were looking across the water and we also tried to film some dialogue where me and Tom improvised some lines together.

We then continued to the factory where we filmed some good action shots of us running for the action portion of the trailer and some other miscellaneous shots. This went smoothly as we had planned it out before hand and stuck to the shot list, as well as our previous use of this location. We could have possibly filmed more if we wanted to but we felt enough footage had been filmed.

Here I was again being filmed mostly as me and Tom are the main focus of the trailer, we filmed some POV running shots with the steady cam that look very professional and action movie-esque. This meant that today we managed to film a good variety of shots and locations, meaning that it was a successful day overall.
