On February 25th 2012 we started on production of our two minute film opening and was the first of another day to come. We have only three main protaginists in this opening but only one of the actresses was not available that day to film due to other comittments. So we decided to go ahead by filming just Effie and Zoe (Autumn and Flo) doing mainly their scenes and when Jessica (Scarlett) would be available, do hers another day. The only problem we had was that at one point in the opening they are all together, but we managed to cheat this with the use of camera angles.
We started to shoot Effies scene in which it is her first appearence. The arcade was very quiet and not many problems happened during the shoot. When filming director Pete Wall asked me to do some shots that do not appear in the storyboard. The reason for this was mainly because during post-production, we would be able to have a variety of shots to choose and place in the main edit if the orginal storyboard shot did not work.
This is me filming the last of Effies solo scenes in the park (Bournemouth). Pete came up with some really good shots that were not in the storyboard once again and I suggested while there to do a backwards tracking shot of Effies character walking through the park to show her facial expressions and mood during this scene.
Because Jess was not available for the shoot and her character was in a scene with the girls (when re-united), we cheated the shot by keeping Effie and Zoe in a two-shot together (also doing close-ups) and decided when Jess was available, shoot her scenes on the location they were and hopefully, the weather is fine.
