Project Making Nine-Shooting B

Fun and tireness are always together

Last week's shooting failed to meet our requirements. Then shooting will continue this weekend. Our schedule is filled with shooting in Faye's house and Wollongong Beaten Park.

Cos it's the 2nd time of taking the same shots, shooting went quite well. Although we did spend lots of time on finding the best angle, the whole process ended within 3 hours, from 4 pm to 7 pm. Actually, we found it difficult to shoot the scene of Emily opening the laptop and Amelia entering.

After discussion, Faye and I decided to shoot the Amelia entering in use of Emily's angle who's actually lying or twisting on bed because of sudden painfulness. So the frame will be a bit tilted and distorted. Several rehearsals helped us find out the angle and put it into practice. I think this shot took around 7 takes or more. I was doing the camera work actually in this shot. I found it quite hard to handle the camera as we wanted to suddenly zoom in when Amelia entering. Each time she entered, the position was different. So it was a bit tricky for me to exactly follow her track and do the exact zoom in. Luckily, practice makes going. This shot was finished after trials. I thought it would be good when playing on screen. However the results told me the truth. All other group members said it was over close-up when Amelia entering. The first shot was the best of all...*-*..~~~Anyway..i learned a lot of skills in shooting during this afternoon. And i believed that we did a good job!
