TW- Reflection of shoot 2

During our second shoot on the 25th of January 2015, we focused and captured all remaining shots needed in and around the caravan, this included various close ups as well as tracking shots. My role within this shoot included the following:

• Before the other group members arrived, as with shoot one, I gathered all props, equipment and anything else we would need and put them in the caravan. This allowed maximum efficiency whilst shooting as everything we would need was always with us, saving us a lot of time and allowing us to quickly start our shoot after our short briefing. I also proceeded to make sure any health and safety risks around/in the caravan were removed or minimized, this included clearing glass and china shards from the caravan to make sure no one would cut and injure themselves.

• Furthermore, I made sure we had sufficient space on our cameras SD card so there would be no problem with re-filming shots if they were not to the standard we expected. I also fully charged two camera batteries so that, as said before, there would be no problems or delays within our shoot, allowing our time filming to be as quick but also as efficient as possible.

•  During the shoot, I was the main person to film the majority of the shots, combined with creative ideas which allowed development on how to improve each shot from the other two group members George and Harry. The storyboards really helped with this as it allowed us to identify what shots we needed to capture and how we would position and frame them, saving us a lot of time. This meant I had to always be careful when filming not to reveal anything in shot that should not be there, for example a reflection of the camera or the dolly and track.

• Proceeding the shoot, in class I have been cutting and editing the footage we had captured on the Premiere Elements software, I have also been experimenting with the positioning of typography and various after effects we can add to the sequence for example filters for the short flashback scenes in our opening. Finally, I had also come up with the idea to add a soundtrack to the sequence, deciding that 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' by 'The Band' would be most appropriate and then developing this idea.

• Other tasks I completed on the day, with help from the other group members, were: Assembling both the dolly and track for use, attaching and detaching the camera from the tripod I had provided at various points in the shoot. I provided the fake blood and applied it for use in some of our flashbacks, finally making sure anything untidy that I had not cleared up from our last shoot was removed or resolved.
