Forgetting the sparklers on my behalf was a bad start, but in the end we didn;t stay till it got dark anyway. So we will be filming that on a feild near the tunnel, which will look just as nice anyway. However we got a shot of the couple running without sparklers into the distance and I feel this was the best shot of the day. Sometimes spontanious ideas work out better than what are planned.
However waiting for the bus I thought of a location that was near by, accessible to the public location that looks urban and different where we could get a few nice shots for the flashbacks. It looked good on camera as it is a very grey looking background which contrasts nicely with the actors and their bright costumes. We got a lovely shot of them drinking from a bottle of beer together over a 'balcony' looking frame.
When we got to Wollaton Park the combination of the white balance and the light from the sun worked perfectly together so that the colours on screen shone out and made the happy flashbacks amazing visually. The mise-en-scene working well as by the time the sun had gone in a little bit we were filming the dark bit too our film with the argument and the woods made the scene look eerie and creepy. The woods a typical monster inspired home, so when the makeup was on the girl and she was in the woods it fitted nicely together. The actors worked well together and with direction from myself and Mitch they worked together with us to get the shots we wanted.
Afterwards I shot the clothed bath scene, which took several attempts but looking back the shot is exactly as imagined when storyboarding.
Overall we got 15 minutes of footage in one day which will need to be cut down drastically but we wanted to shoot lots so that we had a various amount of choices of flashbacks so that we are assured to have gained the most visually interesting shots that we could.
