Yesterday was our first shoot/test shoot for Jade' documentary which is currently being called "Treasure". Although it as just a test shoot we all decided that if it went well, we would use the footage from it.
We were a bit slow to start because of having to run a few errands but as soon as we set up and got rolling every thing went fairly smoothly. I had a set up of 3 cameras consisting of;
- A Panasonic P2, filming a constant wide angle shot that will be sped up and used in the edit of the whole thing taking place including the crew and the people Jade questions.
- I also had 2 Canon 5D Mark II set up. One was set up with a wide angle (10-20mm) lens, that remains static throughout the people talking. The other 5D had a 55-200mm and involved me filming different shots between a medium shot and a close up of either the person or the object they are talking about.
We also had 3 other cameras just floating around taking shots of the production, so it was like camera heaven. The test shoot was a great opportunity to just practice and to make sure we all knew what we had to do and hopefully the other shoots which run just as smoothly.
Today was another day filming with Miles, this time we were exploring Kynance Cove which was beautiful even if it did involve scaling a rock (causing me at one point to fall over). We got some good shots from the day involving caves and water bursting out from under the rocks. We only really have one location left now, and we may go to a few more to get some small pieces of footage, we will also probably go back to Praa Sands a re shoot a few more things, now that i have a better idea of the stuff we are trying to get.
