journal - 10/12/12 First shoot

Today we started to film our title sequence. We found a location in school which resembled an office and was suitable for the opening of our title sequence due to it resembling a legitimate office. In order to achieve our desired goal of having the background completely blacked out to create a mysterious aspect to the character we inserted a green screen behind the desk for later editing.

in order to achieve a dolly, we placed the tripod on a dolly which allowed the cinematographer to smoothly glide into our close up shot thus making it more professional.

We also did some dummy shots of birds in the sky which was extreamly problematic as the birds were unpredictable which made them hard to capture on film.

I am very happy with the outcome of today as we managed to film all the shots we needed from the office location, next we will be filming the single shots of camera flashes and confetti. Our group will also be shooting at Danson park soon as we need to do some underwater shots in the lake to show the picture of Mr Teddy grandmother sinking. I am slightly worried about these shots as I am concerned that the water will be to murky and we wont be able to see the photo therefore we will be inserted some form of waterproof lighting into the water before hand in hope that this problem wont occur.
