Shooting

This week I have began to shoot my film. I have been concentrating on the first shot where Yuri walks into a park reading a book.

I have encountered a lot of problems! The biggest problem I've found out is that the base of the set is too hard, even with the holes I made. When I pin the feet down the pins bend and when I try unpin the feet I have to use too much force which usually end up in unwanted movement of the character or set. To fix this problem I pulled up the base of the set and put down a layer of foam board between the wood base and floor covering. The foam is strong enough to keep the characters stable but soft enough to push and pull out the pins!

Another problem I have had to sort out is getting lights!! Its been a pain in the arse and takes a lot of time. I managed to get some from the hatch but can only have then for 24hrs max so wont be able to shoot at weekends.

Although I have not shot any material which I feel is good enough to have in my final film, I have learnt lots that I will be able to remember next week when I start shooting again. forexample CHARGE my camera every night! (it ran out today)
