Filming final piece (At Elk Meadows)

As we had already prepped the set for our opening the day before, we began early so we could complete filming for the day. However, as it was very sunny outside, the lighting was inappropriate for the threat video at the start. Despite this, we decided to go ahead and film it as this would only be one draft of many that we would change later in the course.

Everything else was already prepped and I assisted Benoit with selecting shots and camera angles as well as recording the audio. Ashley managed us and ensured we stayed on schedule as well as obtaining all the shots we needed. Most things went according to plan, however we decided to move away from the storyboard slightly in order to save time for extra footage, and acquire some more interesting shots.

Already we had began to take notes of assets we would change for the next draft. For me, as cinematographer, I was looking mostly at the mis-en-scene and how come colours related to the character 'Joseph' and what significance to the story they had. For instance, warm colours connote danger and anger are lacking on most shots. One way around this would be to colours correct the shots with an orange filter, but we will see if that works during editing.
