Half Term Filming - Thomas Brown

Well, Were back after half term after a stress-filled week of not being able to film due to actors not being able to make dates they originally could, ect. On Sunday we managed to finally get some filming done. We had a late start, planning to start just after 9 and actually beginning more around 10 o clock. We did manage to film some good shots, However complications with lighting and the camera ment that a lot of our footage was unusable. Lighting this was going to be a difficult job, Since it required 100 % lighting with no natural lighting in the cellar, This was not helped by the lack of redheads and the use of worklights, Which proved too bright and we could not use the filter paper. We had to use a makeshift reflector, in order to make the light appropriate. We were also delayed twice by people willing to Use the cellar, Due to them requiring the cellar lighting we could not shoot during this time, this made it very difficult to film sometimes, as we were interrupted mid shot twice.

The plan so far is to re shoot what we can on Saturday, Since we can then hopefully plan ahead more, and due to more filming equipment being around outside of half term hopefully get the XM2 and a Red head light kit with some gels, This should make it a lot easier to manipulate the light to our advantage.
