Today we filming in the tunnel at Denham Station. We met up at
a dancers house as it was a few minutes’ walk away and discussed again what was
going to be happening asked if everyone had everything they needed. We was all
set and walked over, they were dressed so we were on time.
The dancer began rehearsing with Hannah whilst me and Vicky
set up the equipment such as the tripod, dolly and the cameras and ensured they
were in the right mode.
After this we began filming. I started off doing the
establishing shots; we did this a few times to ensure it would be right. After
this I did midi shots and then lots of close ups on Hannah and her jewellery such
as her watch and necklace. Furthermore I did close up of the dancers face and
low angle shots of everyone. After this we thought it might be cool to use the
silluet and I filmed this as we thought it looked cool. I also did backwards
tracking with the camera using the dolly, of the dancers walking towards the
camera as well as doing a long shot from behind as they walked off. Also I thought
it would be good to have a shot of the dancers and Hannah walking past the
camera whilst we stood on the side to show them going past. We were happy with the shots we got and we thanked the dancers and said goodbye. As finished earlier than scheduled we were able to go to the train station with Hannah to do the other shots.
After a quick change of clothes and a lunch break me Vicky
and Hannah went into the train station and on the platform filmed verse 2.
Verse 2 included many close up shots of actions so they matched the lyrics with
visuals for example the walking gun and secret bomb. I again filmed midi shots
and establishing shots as well as some tracking backwards as well.
After Hannah has a quick costume change we decided to film
on the bridge verse 3. I did shots of Hannah from on the platform whilst she
walked up the bridge i.e. a close up of the shoes, walking across the bridge
whilst I stood at the platform and zoomed in. Also I then went to the other
side and filmed her walking towards the camera. As it was not raining we couldn’t
show her wet hair, however we did have a back-up plan and used took shots of
her with an umbrella so we could make it look like it was raining.
Also as the train went passed Hannah I stood in front of it
and sang the line ‘I’ll be rolling like a train’.
