Today was all about getting pick up shot's that we felt we could do with Nick the following day, due to having the studio for two days. We took advantage of this and filmed numerous close up's, for example hand shot's of Ray ripping the hole, paper's on the wall and touching the TV's in the virtual world. We also got a few other shots such as over the shoulder shot's of Ray playing with the paper's on the floor. Some of these shots were hard to get due to Nick's hair being quite different to Ray's so I had to keep his head out of shot, including his shadow, which was quite difficult to do when it came to the breakout scene as Nick's shadow was in the shot a lot, however after some moving around of the camera and close zooming, I managed to keep his head more out of the frame than previous. I feel I have become proficient in using the Sony EX3 and the Samurai Blade. It took some time to get used to the numerous features on both, however after Anne spoke to me about the equipment, it made it much easier for me to understand how to use both.
The Sony EX3 and Samurai Blade.
The last shot of the day was my favourite of the whole shoot on both days. This was a dolly pan out of the hole, slowly panning upwards to show the whole set and crew working. A couple of takes were taken and I felt really happy with the outcome of this shot, which was achieved with the help of Nick and Sahir, who helped push/pull the dolly smoothly.
After this shot, Charlie called cut and we began packing away all the equipment and cleaning up the set. Our set was staying at Film Production student's wanted to use the set for the outline of their film they're going to make, which saves us time when it comes to cleaning up, unbolting the set and so forth. We received a lot of praise for the aesthetics of the set, which I felt was great due to the amount of work I had personally put in, when it came to papering the walls and so forth. Personally, I feel that I have worked really hard for this unit, contributing as much as I could when it came to building the set. Im proud of the effort I put in and i'm pleased with the camerawork I displayed. Even though I made a couple of mistakes, I found the process really hard work, but very interesting and exciting and worth the effort put in by myself.
