Overall, i believe our shoot day went to plan and was highly successful. we began the day by perparing our actor and actress in the desired costume that we thought fitted the situation. we dressed Affie in an 'old school' buttoned up chordroy shirt with tan trousers (being careful that his outfit diddn't clash with the red thrown scene). Georgie was dressed in a high waisted skirt and also a buttoned up shirt to keep the trend and highlight the target audience. we began shooting the most outlandish set of the three, the thrown scene, having affie sit on his chair and making the most of the royal set around him, sticking to midshots, establishing shots and slow, establishing tracking shots, flaunting the design of the set. with our lighting in this scene, we kept it rather simple. apart from the obvious star cloth we used, spot lighting was used to create interesting shadows on his face. I thought as a team we performed really well in this set, with a nervous actor, we displayed what we needed from him (directing) wilst taking it in turns on playback, filming and assistant set direction for the specific shot that was being filmed. Personally, i enoyed the directing and camera work, so i stuck to these things as much as possible for the thrown scene.
After Lunch, we then switched the set around, now bringing into play the full beam plane lights, giving a really nice siloutte of Affie and Georgie as they stood infront of them. I realised that the brightness of the lights could be used to our advantage and could pulsate to the beat of the bass of the track, so i enjoyed the lighting side of this scene. i also directed affie to make a large and abrasive movement once the lights are turned on fully to give the full effect of the powerful visual we were aiming for. affie throwing his arms in the air and jumping backwards as the bassline kicked in for the first time was the perfect action. As a team we used the tracking shots to our advantage helping eachother to create very fast tracking shots, indicating the pace is picking up. I also like the effect we thought of when the lights go completely off, and are turned on full bore.
Lastly we travelled to Guildford and set up camera where we thought would be interesting locations. we found an interestng canal area which we thought was interesting. we managed to create some nice square shots and off centered shots with Georgie with some publice stairs and walls we found.
Although i thought the shootday was very successfull, one thing i would change if i could do it again would be the timings we got into Guildford to shoot the street scenes. Although we got in in good time, because we were shooting in November, the darkness crept up on us quite quickly, so our time in Guildford was shortened because of loss of light. Luckly we did get the shots we wanted, but it would have been nice to fully cement the shots we needed aswell as have time to film so extra ones just incase. Below are some of the evidence of our shoot day in all different scenes.
