Filming Day 2 - Location 2 - Indoor/Singing Shots

Today we have filmed the singing shots within a friends house, to show the character in her bedroom. We played the cover song in which I sang along to. I looked at the camera to engage with the audience and we came up with the idea of having a picture frame, to indicate it is a picture of him, or them both and she's remembering him, by singing to the audience of her story and expressing herself. This also gives it a realism and we have also used different angles, shots and positrons within the room. We took the shots several times and did one whole run through several times and the last section of the song we did several times as the beginning was the one which we shot from the beginning, so by skipping it until the last section we know we didn't leave bits out.

We also went out into the friends neighbours garden in which their was two chairs and a table in between. This represented both characters used to sit together and now its just her. This was shot from the beginning of the song all the way through to till the end of the song.

We then had another shot of me walking towards the house singing the second chorus. We are keeping with variety and different locations so we can use as much of the footage we have and fill in gaps if we have any.

Today was successful, we have a lot more footage to play around with, we have covered the whole track through footage, which gives good start when we start editing and placing footage onto the time line when we are editing. Although we may begin the process of editing, things will be changed and replaced with the rest of the footage we will be shooting.
