Shoot two at Huntingdon Hall

Our shoot at Huntingdon hall was very successful; the staff were very friendly and cooperative. We have been filmed for a total of three hours and shot the footage that we wanted. Transporting the lights and props to the hall was an demanding task but was capable.

Shoot one at North wick and Worcester Town.

On Tuesday the 11th of January, we set out filming and targeted to capture our first 30 seconds for our opening in Worcester and Northwick. We found a grim back alleyway that we took a series of dull, dirty and rough objects and images that connote our characters personality. These images will be used subliminary to connote the meaning. Also in Worcester we stumbled upon a antique shop that had a 20th century image of the theatre that we were filming at next, thanks to a kind worker he let us take a shot of it which will add a great effect to the final product. 

After filming in Worcester we made our way to North wick theatre, this is a perfect location to give a 1930's classy impression that we were looking for. Here we took a number of shots of the building and some statues. We are unable to use inside as it's no longer a theatre so instead we have permission to use Huntingdon hall in Worcester. This is a perfect old fashioned theatre and we couldn't of asked for much more. 

Overall the shoot was a success and we are very please how the shoot when and we are very much looking forward to the capturing the rest of our film on the 19th of January. We had to wait for a dater date for the theatre to become available.

Light health and safety brief.

I have received a health and safety brief from my teacher to use the cold lights that my college can supply. We are debating in using these lights because we want to film in a theatre and the lighting would be provided. 

Health And Safety.

One of the first issues we encountered was the large amount of chairs in the room. This is a hazard because of the possibility of falling or tripping over such objects. We fixed this by removing the chairs from the film location, and only keeping the two chairs which we needed for filming, on set. Another we had to think about was a slippery floor outside, in the hallway where our establishing shot is filmed. The danger here is the possibility of slipping and injuring yourself. We can maintain this risk by keeping the floor clean, and walking across it at an appropriate pace. Yet another danger was the uncovered electrical cables by the entrance to the room - next to the door hinge. This risk would be if we came into contact with the cables, which could cause an electric shock. We didn't have the facilities to be able to cover the cables, but we made sure when filming that we were aware of the cables.

After highlighting the different hazards and risks in the film location, we were able to begin camera work.
