Filming Day 2

When we filmed a second time, it was in our second location: Eynsford Castle. It is a beautiful location that we are using for Ellie to be outside. In these scenes she will be drinking and smoking in an annoyed way, in an attempt to forget her memories. Eynsford castle is a perfect place for us to film because it is far away from any other pedestrians which means we can focus the camera more on our actress.

 

These two shots are of parts of Eynsford castle, just so we can picture where we are filming.

 



The three photos above show the difference in the lighting on different parts of the stone wall. The photo in the top right hand corner is the correct lighting we were aiming for. There is no direct sunlight/glare of the sun nor is there any shadows, which means that it looks cloudy, dreary and rather miserable. The bottom photo was too light for our liking and the top left photo had too many shadows in it which would have made it more difficult to film.

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

In one of our scenes, we have to light a photo of Harry. Our problem was that due to wind, this became increasingly hard for everytime the paper caught fire, the wind would then blow it out again, making it almost impossible for us to film. Consequently we couldn't film that bit on the day and will have to reshoot it another time.
