Filming: Day 1

So after our first ever filming day, as predicted, we were in need of more shots. So we tried to devise a schedule of when we can meet with Kitty (our artist). Although this may seem simple, and I know because I thought arranging a day would be simple, apparently it turns out it was a lot more difficult than expected.

Kitty was a busy person, which therefore meant less time for a shooting. After great lengths of trying to arrange one day where all our filming could be done, we ended up settling on a span of two days with one hour’s time of shooting.

Our first filming day settled on getting as much extra shots, close up shots of her singing and depth of field. The location for this was different to what was recently planned because the abandoned house was out of use and also had the risk of getting ourselves hurt. But, we settled on using a forest that was easily accessible and provided us with the depth of field shots. On this day, Kitty only had 30 minutes to spend with us due to personal reasons and because of that we shot as much as we possibly could.

I was not extremely pleased with how filming went, simply because we had little time and so much to do. The fact that it was a public area, we had many intrusions of the public walking their dogs and this would sometimes be on the footage. But, the good thing was that our lip singing was more clear in these shots and displayed clear knowledge of the words, which is a great benefit to syncing the song with the footage.
