Filming Day Two.

Friday 28th October was our second day of filming.

The whole trend of filming on a Friday was due to the fact we were all able to attend, and also, the girl we used as our lunatic was free on a Friday, her name was Caitlin (man thanks). We had Media on a Friday afternoon so filming on this day made sense as opposed to missing other lessons.

We were back in Glossop on this day to amend the two shots we messed up just one week before, and we aimed to get as much of our filming done as possible before the half term holidays, leaving us plenty of editing time.

Once we had visited the warehouse and re-shot the scenes, we still had a full half day left, and felt this was a good time to get the shots we needed for the start of the video where the lunatic ‘is on the grass’, so went to Manor Park, Glossop, a perfect location for what we wanted to achieve.

The park had a secluded forest where could achieve shots of the lunatic in the leaves rolling around, presetting her as psychotic and mentally ill. We also got some good shots of her running to and from the camera in large, open, grassy spaces that again highlighted her isolation form normality and the rest of the world.

We managed to get a variety of shots; both close and far, high and low to add a more original look to our final piece, hopefully. It was important we got a lot of close-ups on Caitlin as she had a lot of frightening make up, again showing her individualism and distance from society.

After a full day of successful filming we had got nearly all of the footage we needed, and decided that we would make our third and final visit at a later date to get location shots, with a proper camera as opposed to a phone camera.
