SHOOTING DAY 2: Performance Parts
Risks? Not any, as no previous bookings were required nor any other cast member being relied on. This shooting was pretty much spontaneous, not pre- planned as such but we couldn’t sort out the narrative parts due to not being able to find a suitable male lead cast member, hence decided extra footage for performance would be useful, as it was! Especially if some shots don’t work as well, also it adds variety and thus makes it more interesting to watch so will cause visual pleasure for our audience. First off the common room shooting didn’t work well at all, it didn’t fit in and would have seemed random (not in a good way though) and there wasn’t enough intimacy or focus on Erna. Even though we had an umbrella the camera didn’t respond very well to the rain so we finished off quick, walking down the street performance was too difficult to film, there were lighting changes between shots, some shots displayed too much wind, with Erna’s hair going everywhere so some shots couldn’t be used but the zebra crossing one we all love! Also not forgetting the best shot we all felt was the one with brick wall background which had beautiful lighting (literally shimmering against Erna’s skin), you can’t always make it look like a great summer in the middle of winter with a plain camera. The outfits worked well and were very eye catching, and established the kind of focus (eye catching type) on Erna. Even though we initially planned maybe to do more costume changes it wasn’t convenient in the time we had available on the day. We didn’t want to risk the change in lighting doing parts of the shooting on different days. By this scene we had established that we will no longer be using bright and colourful make-up and instead opting for something more stylish but still eye- catching, the signature red coloured lips and it also works with her red hair.
