Filming on Thursday Evening

Location 1: Jesus Green
We arrived at out first location at Jesus Green at about 5pm. This is later then we had hoped to as a group. This was due to Anissia having a lesson until 4.10 and then having to pick up the equipment and then getting the bus to town and walking to locaiton. Once there we got on with filming.
What went wrong?
- Once at the location the sun was setting so was getting dark quick, and we only had one large torch. This meant that we had to experiment with the torch and exposure on the camera to get the image we wanted.
- There was an issue raised between the group that the footage that we were getting would be very dark and look completely different once in the video with our other footage where it was lighter. To try and sort this issue we used the torch as much as we could to light up the artist and the location we were in. Also in the editing process we will work on the colour correction of the footage.
What went well?
- We spent as much time as needed at the location to make sure we had all the shots that we needed.
- We worked well as a group, with everyone being able to film and hold the light. This meant that we got things done quickier and didn't fuss in the cold.
What we could have improved on?
- Being aware of the sun set times and making a plan of what we would do at certain times before it got too dark.
- Having speakers or a device to make the music louder. We had the dong playing on Emma's iphone however, it wasn't very loud and on the footage at times becasue Grace is quite far away from the camera we cannot hear the music.

Location 2: Brick Wall
We then walked to our next location this was to be at a brick wall down Eden Street. However, on the walk from Jesus Green we found a small brick wall area on the corner of Jesus Lane.




The first image is the route that we took from Jesus Green to the brick wall location that we found. The second image is the brick wall! And finally the last image is the location of the brick wall.  What went wrong?
- The location of the wall was very public with cars and buses going past all the time, so the sound level was very high at all times. Also it was a public walkway which meant people were walking past and we would have to stop filming to let them past and at times when we were filming they would just walk through the shot.
What went well?
- The lighting at this location was better and brighter. We had the street lights and the lights from the cars and buses that lit up the shots.
- It was a nice small area to film!
What we could have improved on?
-

Location 3: Grand Arcade Car Park
Our final location was the car park in Grand Arcade. We arrived at the location at about 5.50 and started to film at 6pm.
What went wrong?
- We were hoping to use the lift to have Grace in it and when it opens she is singing. However we could not do this because the lift was out of order and the other lift in the Grand Arcade had a mirror at the back and when filming we would be in the shots.
What went well?
- The lighting at the location was very good and we didn't have to use the torch.
- As the level that we were on there were not many cars so we could use a large space. This allowed us to get lots of different shots and angles of Grace.
What we could have imporved on?
- More thought into the costume that Grace was going to wear. The dress was very nice however was very dark.
