Filming Diaries - The Summer House (again)


We went back to the summer house to film for the last part of the music video where the main plot of the revealed. Again, we faced some problems:
 - We reached the end of the tape so had to rewind to the start of the footage and film over it, although most of it had already been put on the computer so it wasn't really a big deal.
 - The battery on our camera was quite low when we rented it from college, so when we turned it on and went to film we only had a few minutes of filming time. This meant we had to try and get the shots as quickly as we could, and only really film the parts we needed. Also, while we were preparing for the shots we had to keep turning the camera off to try and save the battery life.
 - Steph forgot to bring the red lipstick which was really important to for evil side of the girl in the narrative; because we wanted her to have a lot more make up on, I did it and as we didn't have the any lipstick, I put purple eye shadow on her lips covered with lip gloss so the lips still had some colour.

We tried to overcome all the problems we faced with the most logical solution and in the end we did manage to get all the shots we wanted before the camera died. So when we get chance to put the footage on the computer, we can look through the footage and hopefully won't need to reshoot anything.
