Task 10-Filming: production diary


Date: 12th October

Location: Blenheim Palace

Shots: shots of palace

Equipment needed: Camera and tripod

Health and Safety concerns: Had been raining the days before which meant the ground would be wet and therefore could be dangerous, so take care when filming on the grass.

One shot I filmed was jess walking down a set of stairs; this was very effective as the sun was shining behind her in the background making her stand out. I also filmed wide shots and close ups of the protagonist (Jess) standing by a massive tree singing as well as her sitting on one. This staging was very effective as it made her stand out against the three due to her bright purple dress contrasting with the brown trees. The costume she wears is a bright purple maxi dress which is quite formal, I made her wear this as I knew that filming in the rose gardens and the grounds would bring bright colours from the flowers and rural landscape and her colour would make complement as well as contract making her stand out. In addition, I wanted her to look more glamorous than she does in the shots in the bedroom as in there it is dark and dirty where as she is now in a dream location.
