Narrative filming

Sunday 25th November: Filming with Lucy 

Today I was able to do my narrative filming with Lucy!

It was a pain having to cart everything round with us, however, my mum offered to drive me to all three of my locations. It was a great privilege. She even helped to help set things up, and go through my health and safety check list with Lucy before I started filming. 

I started filming at Hessle Foreshore. Lucy portrayed the character fantastically. She even managed to put part of herself into while filming. She found it very difficult to show such a moody character. But she was able to show emotions through her eyes, and connect with my target audience.

One of the main problems I had whilst I was filming was being interrupted by people walking there dogs along side the pond. It took a while for them to move on which meant a lot of my time was trying to re-shoot shots of Lucy walking into the river.

We stayed there for a few hours. I managed to get all of the shots I'd planned on my story board. And while I was there, I had a few other ideas, shots, within my location.

After a few hours we moved on to my second location Ferriby Woodland. Here I had to bring two sacks of dry leaves and extra hairspray for Lucy’s hair as the wind had picked up a bit. Before I started shooting I ran through the shots that I wanted to do with Lucy making sure that she was comfortable and another health and safety check list.

I didn’t have any major problems with shooting in this location. It is a very quite aria and there was plenty of different spots where I wanted to shoot different shots. One section I found practically hard to shot was the leaves falling through the trees. We wasn’t sure which direction the wind was blowing in so some of the footage isn’t worth keeping. But it didn’t take use long to film all the footage for my music video. I just have to finish filming my Performance footage to then be able to start editing.
