29th November 2016
Now, for the
general premise of the second day, things went pretty well. We started
the day out a little bit later than the first day, getting in at about 8 in the
morning to get the cameras ready for the filming, getting the tri-pods and the
like ready to be used for the day. During this time the rest of the team
arrived along with some of the acting students so we sent them off to the room
we would be filming in. We decided to take the table from the small room at the
end of the corridor and use it in the video, so we began to bring it down
to the classroom we were using. Once we arrived at the room, however, Kelly
spotted us attempting to get it in the room and told us we couldn’t use it, so
we went all the way back and put it back in the small room. We figured we could
just use the tables that were already there and just shift them into the shape
of a larger table in the centre of the room. We followed Andrew’s
instructions and got the acting students into their positions around the table
and began filming. After an hour or 2 we were almost done filming the main
parts of the scene, along with some other shots that weren’t on the list but we
got them just in case, so we sent 4 of the acting students off to get
makeup done for later that day, thanking them for their help. We finished the
rest of the shots with Josh in them and sent him off too. We put the tables
back in the right places and left to go wait in the classroom for the next part
of the day’s shoots to begin. After the lesson with Kelly, our group departed to get the cameras and
gear to get ready for the shoot at the Edge Bar. Once we had everything ready
to go, we set off for the makeup department to gather the last of the acting
students. We had to wait around for a bit so the makeup girl, Becky, could get
the last of the makeup done for each of the acting students. Once that was done
we set of
f on the cold journey to the Edge Bar. We crossed over the bridge and
arrived at the bars main entrance only to find we were locked out. Andrew called
the owner of the bar and he came and let us in. once we got in the owner, Mark,
showed us around and showed us each different room we could use. He gave us
practically full control of the entire bar for the night, or at least until 9,
when the bar actually opened. We decided to use the bottom room for the shoot
as it had the best lighting available. We set the gear down and figured out the
lighting and the sound tech, before we could even start shooting. Once we
figured everything out we started to shoot the main bulk of the shots for the
scene. We had the music booming and the lights going, it was quite the
spectacle. We then started to shoot the shots that had Josh in them. One by
one, the acting students went home after we had finished filming their parts,
as we didn’t want to keep them there when they weren’t needed. Once we had
finished filming all the shots that we needed we put the equipment away and
started to head out, but when we went to thank the owner, the topic of filming
a promo video for the bar came up in conversation. We agreed to film a short ad
for the bar when we had the time, and head off home. Amy and Logan took it upon
themselves to take the equipment home with them, as they were the only ones who
didn’t need to get the bus or walk home, they were getting a lift. I set off
for the bus stand and called it a day.
