PRODUCTION: DAY 3 OF FILMING

After yesterdays set back we came back today with our male actor and filmed what we needed to film with him. We arrived with everything and were ready to start filming but we encountered another problem. When we put the SD cards in their corresponding places, card A said that it was full, but it didn't have anything on it so it would switch to card B but that said it only had 27 minutes on it and that too was empty. We tried calling the college, the media department and the number we were given if there was anything wrong, but it went straight to answer phone. We just had to put up with the 27 minutes we had and not be able to record and bloopers and take the whole process very seriously and delete anything that we thought we didn't need.

We filmed the shots with the male actor on a hill and apart from the fact that the grass was wet from the night before, the sun made it difficult for both the actors to look into the camera so we had to move in to shade slightly but we still had some trouble with it but managed to film what we needed to in the end. Also the shadow of the camera and the person filming was a bit of a problem. We made a lot of changes that day in terms of location, for example our initial idea was that the couple would be lying down on the grass and the guy would disappear and then come back at the end of the  video to the same location as at the beginning. However in the same small park we were filming in the was a type of small garden; so we thought it would look better and the scenery would be more interesting if he came down a few steps that there were and meet the girl at the end of the garden. Whilst filming this scene unfortunately it started to rain, but thankfully for only a few minutes and after we where able to continue filming and obtain a great shot.

We then filmed the scene where Alia hangs the pictures on the tree. It did also start to rain but we managed to film what we wanted.

We found a nice gate near where we were filming and we went through it and discovered a massive open field which was perfect for filming. We instantly fell in love with the place and we decided that there was no point in going to Richmond park after finding this place seeing as we already had so much footage from day 1. But technically the park was in Richmond so really we have stuck to our original plan.

So we found the field and it was a bit windy which was perfect as the outfit Alia was wearing was very floaty. Also as it was close to sunset the sky was a very nice colour and the footage was great. We took advantage of the beautiful scenery and took some pictures of ourselves.
