Day 2 - Filming on Location

Monday 10th February 2014 - 
Today is day two of filming on location, we filmed the establishing shot and our 'Mystery Man' scene. 
We scheduled an hour in which to shoot this which was a bit ambitious of us considering it took a while to construct the crane for the camera, we managed to just about film in our allocated time, we would have had more time to go at a leisurely pace if it wasn't for the fact that we had to wait for the sun to stop shining on the windows of the house and reflect us and the camera crane. This dwindled our time, but by being patient we over came the problem and got a perfect crane shot, with nice affective ambient sound.

Our filming of the Mystery Man was straight forward filming after todays complications, we filmed our actor against a black background as his where about's were meant to me anonymous as well keeping up the illusion. This went well with the right amount of light showing up on the actors face making the shot we envisioned in the planning phase become perfect in the shooting phase.
