25th November - Day 3 Of Filming

Today my group and myself filmed Shot 4B- Scene where Sandhya is singing whilst walking on a local high street. We shot this on Wembley Highroad however there were some problems that occurred:

1. Many other people would look directly into the camera which would not give it a natural look to the scene. Also many people would walk directly in front of the camera. Maybe to improve we could have shot this in a less busy place but in the end it did work out.
2. It was a very windy day therefore was quite difficult to film.
3. Our original idea was to film keeping the camera in a fixed position and follow her whilst she walks however this had problems in terms of balancing the tripod. Therefore I tracked backwards whilst she was singing and this was successful and completed this scene after a few takes. 

2A and 2B which are the two scenes where our Artist Sandhya is writing on the mirror in lipstick. These shots raised some problems. The spacing in the persons house we use was limited however we moved the mirror so we could film effectively. However some problems that occurred was:

1. Our idea was for Sandhya to write the exact lyrics when being sung in the song however this was very time consuming and was hard for our Artist to write in time with the lyrics. Therefore we changed the storyboard and we wrote the lyrics on the mirror and our Artist wrote the last few words of each line. 
2. We ran out of lipstick in shot 2B therefore we used another type which was quite similar. 
3. We changed the shot type. It was originally a medium shot for 2A and a medium close up for 2B however due to spacing we kept them both over the shoulder medium shots where the artist is singing. 

At the end of this day, we successfully filmed the 3 scenes we had planned out, to the best of our ability.
