The Shoot!

So over half term we had our shoots! On wednesday 28th Ot me and danni and tom went by ourselves to our location and shot some scenery shots so that we didn't have to waste Sian's time. Then on Saturday 31st Oct we did our first shoot with Sian. We shot in our Carnaby and Soho locations and i think this actually went really well. We realised that when having moving camera-work, it looked much better if we carried the camera on a tripod to steady it, so i think that those shots look much better. However although we were planning on shooting on Sunday 1st Nov there was torrential rain. Shooting outside in October and November we knew that we may come up against weather issues, and so we planned for this by having many colourful umbrellas on stand-by, that we could work into our shoot. However, this was just too heavy and we didn't want to risk the equipment in such heavy rain. Consequently we are now shooting next sunday 8th Nov - this is when we will do our shots in Brick lane and Spitalfields. Having looked at our footage from last sunday, we have realised that it is quite good to have a weeks gap between the shoots as we can really see what we need to do. Therefore we were able to come up with another shooting list for this weekend, meaning we won't miss anything. So here is our rough shooting list for 8th Nov:
* Lamppost change outfit shot
* Person walking past change outfit shot
* Walking towards camera change outfit shot
* Contra Zoom
* Graffiti Alley Shots
* Revolving door change out fit shots
* Routemaster bus shots

So hopefully this weekend the weather won't be as bad!
Also we need to arrange a date for the green screen, perofrmance shots, and that really needs to be done this week but we will arrange that in our group meeting today at 10am! ok.
