First Shoot

So we've obtained our first wave of footage that we shot at our first location in Bury last Thursday. The stills posted below are two examples of the footage taken, highlighting our desire to capture urban and natural usage of artificial lighting. Emphasising the contrast between light and dark is a prominent theme throughout the video and we're encouraged with the way in which this concept was realised in the first shoot.

In the next stage of shooting, we aim to concentrate on the narrative aspect of the video, and collect close-ups and reactions shots of our main character. We then hope to see our video really begin to take shape. With the foundations of the video in place we can then experiment in post-production with some conceptual elements we had planned to incorporate such as time-lapse and layering.

Shooting Tonight

So we've selected tonight as the first day of shooting, since this is the perfect day for everyone involved to be able to do it (Me, George and our 'cast'). Tonight won't be the most technically difficult shots - that'll come later after we've got some preliminary footage, as well as the chance to get some on-location test shots, maybe to try some more editing techniques in preparation for what we can get done in the future.
