Final work research 7
May 7, 2009
2009 April 17th was the second day we shooting, also is the busiest day until I come to The UK. Because of lease period of the camera and other equipment is finite, and actors and place was booked in there days, so we have to finish shoot on time. Although we are already complete our shooting script, but shooting still like participate in the war, not only very busy, also full with surprises and unexpected.
The beginning of the shooting was not very favorably, it done in the interior. We have to adapt different machine, and the biggest problem was record sound. External microphone can pick sound well, we had to use additional microphone. Fortunately, when we edited material, we felt audio have a good effect.
But at the beginning the actress was not adapted to, she could not felt the character’s emotional in the film. The director and scriptwriter exchange their ideas with character, scriptwriter explained his opinion, at the same time according to the views of actors change some points in the script. After that we finish the shooting morning, came to city center after lunch.
At afternoon, we had arranged two famous street singers in Coventry, we need them carried out with us. It is surprisingly for us them were dress up. Their nice songs attracted lots people, we had to shoot in crowd, but it make scene looks more authentic. In the end of shooing we accept give them a film copy.
When finish all of these above we were gone to book the venues where we shoot tomorrow, it is a night bar. Unfortunately the boss was enjoy his Easter, can’t open his bar for us. We are very frustrated because it is not easy to book a bar for shooting, and we have to complete shooting there days. There is an old saying “after rain comes the sunshine”. It’s the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct in many cases even today. One of our members proposed us maybe we can shoot in the bar where he part-time in. we gone there, the manager permit us shoot in there, but just today, the most important thing is it is free. Immediately, we drum up all of actor and shoot, when we finish it, it is almost 11 o’clock in the night.
When I back home I can’t wish and go asleep, I need to edit the material we shoot today. It cost me nearly 2 hours, and I aware I need do more exercise to improve my work efficiency. Though day’s work make me tired, but I am happy to the effect we shooting.
