Second Evening of Filming by Sammy Wood

The second time filmin was at the location with the swimming pool. As it was mid-November, we had a task of trying to film the shots in daylight to produce a better picture. Then at a later date we could edit the film to make it look like night time. The other problem was filming the shots in the swimming pool as the pool hadn't been heated and was therefore at freezing tempertures. This was therefore hard for the actress to swim in and she found it very difficult.

We rushed to the location to hopefully get there in hours of daylight. We then quickly filmed all of the shots out of water, such as walking out of the pool and wrapping the towel around her, this all ran smoothly, eventhough it was getting darker. The next filming that we had to do were the shots in the pool. We had set the camera up on a scooter so that we could track our actress in the water swimming along. However, our actress was too cold and was therefore swimming too quickly because she wanted to get out that the filming of her wasn't very good as we couldn't track her. However, we tried it a couple more times and caught the footage that we needed to get. We finished the filming quite quickly as we needed the shots to be in daylight hours.

I think that the filming was good considering the situation that the actress was in. The shots that we got of our actress in the pool were good aswell. We have decided that the limited footage that we did get of the actress, could be put into slow-motion to add a more dramatic effect and therefore look like we have more footage.
