Planning - Day One Filming

Day One Filming 

Our first day filming was when we filmed our couple shots of Alice and Jack in Jacks Garden. I think that these shots were fabulous to start of our filming with as we arrived at the perfect timing of golden hour when the sun was a little way of setting and so the sun was peeping through the trees enabling us to use it in the background and get some wonderful shots of Alice and Jacks silhouettes. I think that when we film in the other locations we will not get as good lighting as this since this is the only footage that will be filmed outside with the natural light. 

One of my favorite shots that we were able to achieve was a pulled focus of Alice and Jack leaning on the fence in his garden. Being able to get varied shots of the pair was a must to try and make sure they were interesting and would not be too 'cringe' or 'samey', i think we did this very well since we got a wide range of moving pan and track shots and some still ones so that it makes the audience focus on the chemistry between them and reflect the meaning of the song 'crazy in love'. We had originally planned to film inside but the lighting outside was so good that we thought the quality would reflect better in the shots we get outside.

Overall, i think in terms of quality this shoot was going to be one of the best (even though we haven't filmed anything else yet). It was going to be the most different from the others as in them we have to film her sing and dance on beat and to the lyrics which is going to be a bit challenging.
