Drama project - shoot day



The shoot started slow as with any shoot but we soon meshed together including the Actors. It was a fairly grey showery day at the peaks and as a result the light was fairly flat bland and grey, we tried to bounce as much light as possible in with the reflectors, but there wasn't much light to reflect. The top cliff location was far too wet and galey when we returned, impossible to work in for many aspects. Nonetheless the sheltered decrepit building worked just as well. My main concern was that the Director had specific ideas and shot lists which were adhered to, meaning we didn't get any coverage. The blue lit face shot didn't work as our mobile lights weren't any way bright enough. The house location worked well as it was big enough to get all the equipment and lighting in surrounding the set. It took a few attempts to get the lighting and shadows right but once we mastered it it worked fine. We had a good laugh and it was a lot of fun. It was interesting working in a larger group seeing the dynamics working.
