Task 10- Filming: production diary


Date: 12th October 

Location: Floral garden

Shots: Garden scenes, shots of surroundings; flowers, trees

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.

The shots filmed in this location of Blenheim palace are part of the main scenes. At the palace I filmed shots of the main character (Jess) in a rose garden by trees and by steps to get a range of location backgrounds. The image to the right shows Jess about to walk through the rose garden mining the lyrics. This shot is a medium close up and I zoomed out as she got closer to the camera. Most of the shots filmed here involved jess mining the lyrics to video games. This makes filming harder as I had to re-film if she makes a mistake or was out of time with the lyrics. However, when editing I was able to change the speeds of the scenes so her mining fitted the lyrics well. In the rose garden I filmed various shots like pans of jess walking the garden as well and close ups of her sitting on a bench mining, this meant I had a range of shots I could use in just that one location. The weather was very sunny which was beneficial as it make the shots bright which is what I wanted the garden scenes to be like as she was happy to be there in contrast to the dark bedroom.
