Reflections On The Shoots - Fri 5th and Sat 13th

On Friday, we only had a shoot with Laura, as unfortunately Barney was unwell. We filmed her in the shower and I didn't get a chance to see the shots until today as I've been unwell, however I think they work really really well. Also we shot her walking down the stairs and into the kitchen with more interesting lighting. We added some contrast with candles in the hallway and I think this worked well, as it makes the shot less flat. We also reshot her walking round the table and picking up the knife, and her dropping the towel, all with more interesting lighting. I think this worked really well, and I especially love the shot of her dropping the towel as I think the lighting looks really good. We also retook the last shot due to issues with lighting.
On Saturday we had our final shoot. Once again, we ended up shooting on a rainy and cold day, but despite this we managed to shoot Barney's outdoor shots. These included a pan of him leaving the park, his conversation from different angles and shots of him at the door, ringing the bell, and waiting at the door. The sound was bad again because of the rain, so we recorded the dialogue in the house. Alice also went outside and recorded some atmospheric outdoor sound, as the rain hitting the umbrella sounded really bad and you can really hear it on camera. We also re-recorded the clocks to 5.00 rather than 7.00.
