Film Shoot Journal #1 - Sunday 5th October

Today my group and I filmed at Wormwood Scrubs park where we filmed our actor (Adrian Garncarek) in different scenes around various locations in the park.

The general shots were of him walking around different parts of the park to portray the idea that he is travelling constantly (like an Irish gypsy in a way) trying to make a living through busking which we also showed him doing.

 

We also filmed at East Acton station because it is an ideal location audiences typically see buskers at. The reason we also chose here was because it was very close to the park which made the filming more practical and that travelers leaving and entering the station acted as perfect extras.

 

Obviously, today was an outdoor shoot which was why we planned to film today because the forecast was predicted as sunny which it was. Although, in post-production we will add a black and white filter so natural lighting did not matter too much, but it kept the equipment safe and made it easy to finish a decent amount of the production.
