Comments on Day of Filming

_________________________________________________________________

Today, filming of the additional footage commenced as planned. We had to plan carefully due to the restricted hours of daylight, but we were able to capture all of the footage we planned to, and the weather and lighting was good. Both characters turned up as planned, and style and image wise were consistent with previous footage. We shot the footage with a cannon EOS 7D and made sure we had additional equipment that was necessary such as the tripod, and also the white screen we filmed in front of. We will now begin to sort this footage and decide which clips we will use, then we can start editing the footage and adding it into the storyboard alongside the footage we have already edited in final cut pro.

Ancillary Flat Planning

_________________________________________________________________

We conducted planning for our CD covers, insert images, and magazine tour advertisement. This helped us to plan what images would be taken and where they would be used. This meant we knew exactly what props and clothing we needed, and how we wanted Bella to be styled, and ensured we knew what images we needed to shoot of Bella for each section of the ancillary production. We planned everything down to where the text would go, and this meant we could experiment with fonts and font sizes now we know where we want the text to go.
