Film Shoot Journal #3 - Sunday 12th October

After our previous shoot, as a group we decided to dedicate the first part of today's filming for re-shoots.

Therefore, we re-shot the opening title and the 'Beatles' shot. The main things that we accomplished this time that we didn't before was: getting the close up angle of the flag correctly in frame and having Shane & Taro in costume because it was outside of school lessons.

Following this, we went down the street on our way to Brent River. Along the way we stumbled across a sign near a secluded area leading from the main road and it read 'Brentford Docks'. Our quick thinking lead us to detour and make use of the public property by filming there as part of the protagonists journey in our narrative. 

 

Shortly afterwards, we made our way down to Brent River where we were lucky enough to see a boat passing under the bridge just like in our storyboard and it happened to stop at a checkpoint. We took the opportunity to get the equipment set up quickly before the gate opened for the boat to move on. In the end we got the shot of the boat leaving and more than we hoped for which means extra footage to work with in post-production which is always good. The rest of the time was spent filming Adrian walking along the river from different angles including from on top of the bridge as part of his continuing journey.
