Filming Session #3

After uploading the result of the previous filming session we figured we needed some dialogue so the opening did not seem more like a trailer. This filming session took place at one of our houses, this is where we all sat down and started to write what we would then use as the news bulletin, and put over the top of the footage of Daisy having flashbacks of that moment when she was being taken in the park. After writing the bulletin which would act as the divide between the music and silence of the scene in the cellar we then recorded one of our voices. The recording took more time than estimated, in total, we ended up spending roughly, 30 minutes on it as we each recorded our voice saying it to see who's voice would sound the more effective. It proved difficult for us to focus, however, once we had our mind fully set on the task we managed to produce the result we had hoped for.
Following the voice recording, we needed to shoot the scene of Daisy walking her dog in Gillingham Park. We did not set a time in which we had to finish filming by, as there were so many factors to consider, like, where in the park to film, are there any people going to walk into the scene and will the dog start to play up?.
Finding a spot to film was not difficult and time consuming as we managed to find a spot fairly easily, however, 15 minutes into filming of Daisy walking past the camera, getting a variety of shots, two ladies and their dog sat on a bench where we wanted to film. We managed to carry on filming shots we needed where we could not see them and by the time we had finished that they went which then allowed us to carry on.
Also it was a little time consuming getting the Shannon's dog to respond, though after about 15 minutes we got the shot of her dog we wanted.
Filming with an animal definitely requires you to take into consideration the needs of the animal and also that complications may arise and that you have to be patient.
Overall, it was a successful day for filming.
