Filming Day One

Props Used
Cigarettes
Over sized Hoody


So today is the day that it all actually begins after all our planning!
11.00 am
As planned we pick up Tom and then head to New Barn Park in Swanley. Unfortunately the weather is not on our side and our "sunny day in the park" is not going to happen! Luckily the weather brightens up a bit and on we go. Zara and I spot an idyllic bench on which tom and myself can film the kiss scene. A problem which i had not bargained on coming across is Tom's lack of self control! He could not stop laughing during the scene and kept on getting told off by me. Zara set up the tripod and we tested this first shot from different angles until finally it was a perfect mid shot, showing our body language and hopefully conveying the chemistry between the two of us. We then walked down the park to the swings and Zara began filming a natural conversation between the two of us. Watching these clips back it was very effective as it does not seem false and the sense of realism is portrayed. The final scene we shot in Swanley park was the panning shot, showing the lake and me and Tom embracing looking over the lake. This was an excellent shot to set the location, showing how alone we was while capturing the natural setting.
