Account #3: The Shoot - Part2

Wednesday, 23rd November

Shooting time: 10am - 4pm
Location: Leith Hill (old boarding house) interiour
Cast & Crew:
same as before

The day started with a lot of last minute procurements of props, such as a frame, loads of old looking books and other things to supply the empty house with a bit of life. Also, we wanted to shoot with two cameras and our original idea for the house part was to track the artist walking through the house and exploring it and to underline this we chose the technique of tracking with a dolly. But - the dolly is very complicated to set up which would consume a lot of time and therefore we had some discussions with our music video enabler, Luke, if we should take it our not. In the end, we followed his advise and didnt take it.... Which turned out to be okay as we still managed to create shots that conveys the feeling of following him through the rooms. 

This is a dolly:


 And this is the HD camera with tripod on 'Eazy Dolly' as dolly replacement:
(which didn't work as the floor was too bumpy making the camera shake)




Evaluation
I think this day went even better than the first shooting day. We were more organised and knew more exactly what we wanted. Also, we had two cameras and split our group in two units to film simultanously which saved a lot of time! First unit was Grace, Luke and me with the bigger camera filming the ballerina scene and 2nd unit Helena, Leyla and Matt doing the shots with Taymour.
