Filming Preparation

Today I began preparing for my filming, by doing this I began gathering all the different equipment that would be required in order to allow myself to be fully prepared to film and pull everything that was planned and researched into together into one production. I put all our equipment into one big bag that we carried up to the theatre. Amongst the equipment was our camera (Lumix G10K), the laptop to transfer and back up footage immediately and a tri-pod, steadicam and costume for my cast Dean Houghton.

 

 

I have also been practicing with my equipment and have discovered that using the camera with the neck strap can become annoying and it can often get in the way, it can also effect how steady the camera can be held when tracking and panning during shots. This is something that will be taken into account and as a result I have decided to remove the neck strap from the camera during my filming in order to ensure that my shots can be reliable and will be steady and of a suitable standard for my production.

 

Having completed this preperation the only thing that can be done next is to get to filming! We will begin filming tomorrow and this will be taking place at the specified locations, the market place will be the location for the vast majority of the shots and these shots will be used as cut aways from the Date scene which will be filmed on filming day #2. The lip syncs will all be aimed to be completed during tomorrows filming sessions.
