How It Went

This set of filming was a bit more fun. We had to experiment because we weren't exactly sure on what the location was actually like, even though we knew where it was and what it looked like, we hadn't actually gone up there! The location and setting turned out to be an absolute success and looked really awesome once we uploaded all of the footage - when filming we was unsure on what the outcome would look like, but now we're glad we just kept it because now it's all in sequence and edited together
it looks really effective and is not always the same boring background. This image to the right is Claudia laughing and holing up two fingers... This is because I was not only wearing my coat but Claudia's as well! As you can imagine, early December... she was freezing and we was joking about, when I was laughing Claudia's reaction was 'YOU HAVE 2 COATS, 2!' hence why she is holding up two fingers.

This image to the left shows some of the location. It was almost like a mini junk yard - it had an old heater, furniture and dustbin bags but actually looked really cool as a background for some of the shots (like in the image below). It created the rustic and 'left behind' kind of look. I think the outfit and look we went for really worked with the location.

After about half an hour of filming and we had the main bits we needed filmed, the sun came out! So the mood changed visually from dull with the cloudy grey skies and windy weather to bright an sunny.
Nothing was planned but we though we may as well do some filming and see what it looks like. To get a good set up I had to place the camera on the floor and where it had been raining and there were puddles a plastic bag needed to be place underneath it which was annoying because it kept blowing in front of the lense when we were filming! But this was the only was to only get a shine from the sun without it blinding and taking over the shot.

This is an image from we took from the location, as you can see Sainsbury's car park is directly in the background therefore this is something we had to take extra care to not get in the shot! Obviously it would've take away the whole feel of the shot and completely ruined it. When watching the footage back, there was only one shot where you can slightly see it and we deleted it regardless because we just thought it looked extremely unprofessional.

These two images (to the right and below) are of Claudia sitting on the bridge type thing that was also at the top of the roofing area. I love both of these images and I think a lot of images from the day would look good as part of our Digipack. They are simple yet effective - a lot like our artist we have tried to create.
