Today I stayed at college after it had finished to do some filming with my friend Sarah who doesn't go to Wyke so she would not have been able to do some filming during the college day. The parts of the video I completed where the shots of Sarah showing various emotions behind a white screen in the green room.
Before we began shooting I needed to choose a jumper for Sarah to wear in the piece as I wanted one that felt right for my artist to wear. For this I had brought one of my own jumpers in an Sarah had brought three of hers. In the end I chose to use a cream jumper Sarah had brought as I believed it best represented what I wanted for my protagonist. Also before shooting Sarah expressed some awkwardness about having to show the emotions on camera because of the amount of facial expressions she would have to show when doing these. However, eventually she felt more comfortable after having done a couple of shots and she was able to do all the shots I needed her to do.
Before filming I faced some problems as the camera I brought ran out of battery despite the fact I had charged it over night. I have deduced that the problem was most likely caused by the battery being quiet old meaning I will most likely have to replace it to continue on using my own camera. For this reason I had to find a camera that I could use instead of my own. Originally I was going to borrow one from college but by the time I found out my own camera was not going to work Ben, the camera guy, had gone home so that was not an option. In the end I was able to borrow a camera off Lewis Stewart and used this to film.
Overall despite all the issues I was able to get all the filming I needed to get in the green room and looking back at my shots I believe they have turned out successfully. I originally intended to also shoot the shots in the classroom today but this has had to be pushed back to a later date because of all the issues I faced while trying to film today. For this reason I may need to change my location for filming these shots as my college is a hard place for Sarah to get to and it would be easier for her if I changed my shooting location.
On this day I got shots; 68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75 completed
