TRANSTION; FILMING DAY ONE

Day one of our filming for transition project was all about us getting establishing and coverage of location shoots. We were filming all around medway to get some location shots to go over the beginning voiceover, as the producer I got to take a small step back during filming, however I was on hand to make sure that what were filming matched the action that is written into the script. For example, I suggested we got some shots of the car leaving the house location and arriving at the farm location, purely for continuity reasons and to make sure the audience fully understand what is going on (the twin characters driving to a lake).

The day overall I think went really well, the locations that we used including Capstone Country Park as well as country lanes around the Hartlip area were perfect for what we needed to do, the park was quiet with a huge lake which was really good for the amount of coverage we wanted to get, and the country lanes were really confined and gave us the sense of atmosphere that we wanted. The only thing I would have changed if I could was the weather, it was extremely sunny and bright which isn't the tone we were going for, we want a more dull and dark look, so Katie as editor is going to look into that further.

On the day I suggested that we perhaps film some shots with our phones, iPhone 7 plus. We had all seen a film recently called 'Unsane' which is filmed entirely on an iPhones, we wanted to take some inspriation from the film and we all agreed to trial this out with out phones. It may not end up in our final edit as it might not match up with the 4K quality of the Panasonic camera, but for our own research we thought it would be a good idea.
