Commissions | The Shoot: Day 2 (Filming the Opening Sequence and G/Vs)


We filmed some of the opening sequences for our doc today - one of which involved filming in my car whilst driving which was sequences.   Here is a rough idea of how the shoot panned out:

Crew:

Alex Hargood: Presenter
Jason Efstatiou: Camera A, Sound
Sonia Zelenická: Runner, Location Scout

The Shoot:

1:30 P.M. - I arrive at the shoot location (Sonia's car park) having picked up Jason along the way and we begin to set up the first sequence.

2:30 P.M. - We wrap shooting this part of the opening sequence and pack away the equipment before preparing to shoot some of the in-car pieces to camera.

3:00 P.M. - Sonia has an appointment and leave, whilst Jason and I shoot the in-car pieces to camera and some GVs from inside the car.

4:00 P.M. - Shooting finishes.

Reflections:

I feel we could have got a lot more filming done, had we not had the time constraints from traffic and other commitments.  It also started to rain when we were filming the in-car sequences so there ma be issues with continuity depending on which take we decide to use.  That being said, I am very happy with how the opening sequence has turned out.  I think that we could have potentially got more done, had we considered the time we had available, and how little we actually had.
