Shooting for second poem: Day 2

The weather was much more kind to us second time round filming in Ilkley moor. It was still cold but the wind was at a minimal and the sun even popped out for a half hour or so. We picked up some really good sounds using the sound booth, with the birds tweeting, the soft winds, the general atmosphere was sucked in by the mic which I'm excited to hear whilst editing.

It took us about 4 hours to film. We must have every seasonal weather filmed in our video which will work really well to show a pass of time. From when Tim passes out from the cold, in the snow, he awakes in warmer sunny weather. We were going to shoot Joel pouring water over Tim's face to wake him up but it was too cold, so we improvised and just showed him waking up, or hallucinating, as Joel being the ghost approaching him

We got some really great shots of the scenery, just before the fight scene when the sun was coming out the exact location of where we shot by the quarry I captured some really good footage. For the fight scene  I wanted to create quite an epic and dramatic feel to the end of the film, i have been quite worried not much had really gone on in the film itself and i don't want it to look boring. Joel and Tim acted the scene out quite a few times, and each time i filmed it from a different angle or a close up to another subject in the scene.

Overall i feel as a team we worked pretty well. At points there were creative arguments over both films which was expected. If someone disagreed with somebody else it was only natural and healthy for one to point out why it can or cannot work, and to come up with a better idea.
