Filming day two:

Work completed individually:





On Wednesday  (30/11/11), we started filming the final scenes for the "The Black Apple" - we had to leave at lunch as we had to stop filming by 3. Moreover, it is now getting darker early, so we had to film our scenes with natural sunlight, and bright lighting as much as possible!

Equipment we took with us that day:
  • Video Camera
  • Tripod
  • Storyboard sheet
  • Refreshments
  • Props - the mirror
  • Costumes and makeup
  • Phone - to take pictures
Who was present:
  • Chloe
  • Tayla
  • Annie
  • Me
What happened on filming day:
  • Walked to Tayla's house at lunch, in order to film everything by 3
  • Setted up the cameras and tripod at Tayla's back-garden and carport, Annie did her makeup and got changed etc.
  • Start shooting the scenes - Annie chucking the mirror, screaming, long shot of the shed and slowly zooming into the window etc.
  • Just ten minutes before 3, we finished filming - and this was good timing as Annie had to leave at 3 and the natural light was slowly darkening.
Overall thoughts:
  • In my personal opinion, at first I thought we would definitely not be able to finish filming on time as we it was quite impossible to finish quite a lot of scenes in just under 2 hours! Surprisingly, we did finish filming in time and with time to spare! Thanks to Annie with her great acting skills, she was able to portray the character well and did all her scenes in just one take!
  • In the future, I think we should be more organised as like how I have mentioned in the other post "Filming day one" and moreover, the ground was a bit uneven which made it difficult to film - so in the future, we should test out the location before filming, making sure filming there will be convinient and easy.
  • Overall, I thought the filming was more successful in contrast to the first day, as we agreed on most things such as shot angles - low angle or high angle etc. - and Annie was able to shoot her scenes all in just one take!
