Second Filming Day

Finally, I have decided the shooting angle and the shot list for my script for Lover or Friend Version. Again, thanks for my classmate that really give me some good ideas of how to organize a phone conversation. As I found it is a bit distoring if I change the scene of one and other (to the one who is speaking) evertime, then I asked ArYa and Jin(thanks so much), they advice me to use the vioce over and I can use the Garage Band in Mac to put effect on the voice, so it will become more real.

Unfortunately, I have found I made a mistake again that is I break the time code. We want to watch back the shots that we have finished during the shooting, yet we don't release that we should take some 'rubbish scene' before watching. So, we have broke the time code three times. And I know that it may make the editing part more difficult. Therefore, for the second shooting, I will definitely remember this.

Indeed, there is a tiny problem about finding the actor, actually we have already confirm with other classmates to be our actor. However, they change their mind and don't want to join the shooting, luckily, after my group mate's persuation, the actor is willing to join and really feel happy about this. Also, we have to face a challenge about the time, because some of our actors are not avavilable all the time. Then we have to consider about the shooting schedule in order to fit their time. In addition, as mentioned before, the second shooting take place at outdoor, thus, we have to finish shooting at 'daytime' anyway otherwise the ligting or the scene will be different.

We feel shocked about the weather as it changes from good to bad and it is not really suitable for shooting outdoor. We have considered to change the location to indoor, yet, luckily we can still finished the filming before it rains. Another big obstacle that we came across is the battery level. Since we haven't consider about the battery level and we collected the camera, we found that we can only use the small battery. And we need to shoot outdoor which means we have no where to charge the battery. It is really fortunate that we just finished everything right after the battery gone out.

We are going to capture the clip to mac so we can edit it lateron.
