When we arrived, we initially filmed the elements of Lucy walking away from the bus stop. We gained mid and long shots of her doing this, as well as a tracking shot using a dolly and track. As part of this shoot, we also included a subtle lighting change (one of the 4 elements) by using a 50cm reflector. To make it look as though clouds were passing , causing a shadow that passes over her face, I slowly moved the reflector, pointing it towards Missy and the light.
As well as this, we also filmed around Clarice's house, getting shots of Lucy as she looks through James' window and knocks on his door. We got some nice Point of View images looking at James' phone, as well as some interesting shots taken from indoors as Lucy looks through the window.
We each took it in turn to use the camera and set up shots, however, Fraser did do a little more as he had storyboarded the scene and therefore had a better image in his head of what it needed to look like. I will have more of a go doing this on wednesday as I have storyboarded the scene we will be filming then, and I am looking forward to creating an interesting tracking shot of James as he walks with his dog.
Overall, it was a very successful day of filming and we managed to gain all the shots needed. I enjoyed using the Dolly and Track as part of the shoot as it creates a smooth and 'proffesional' look to the footage. I also admire the way that Missy listened to our instructions and acted well, without moaning about the cold weather.
Aspects that I found difficult was pulling the focus whilst panning - especially seeing as there was not much difference between the focus needed for each shot. I will have to see how this looks when we come to edit.
