Filming session: 2

Today was our second filming session for the opening sequence. We all decided to meet at Gabriela's house around half past four, we then filmed and finished roughly around seven o'clock, this made it a productive day. Due to the fact that it was still daylight outside, we decided to set up the lighting kit and get the rest of the equipment in position. It took us a little while to set all the equipment up because the driveway that we were using for the beginning, was a far distance from the house, Therefore we needed to use many extension cords for assistance with actually setting up the equipment that required electricity. 

After we finished positioning the lights in the places that we thought would achieve the best quality, actually filming the scene of Gaby walking down the driveway was hassle free and straightforward. However the next scene of her walking though the gates were not as simple. This was because it was hard to get the gate to open on cue for the scene. It took us quite a few attempts, but eventually we managed to film the gate at the right time. After we were satisfied with the first two scenes, we then re-positioned the lighting equipment for the next scene of Gaby walking towards the house and into the house. As well as making sure the lighting was perfected on camera, we also needed to film from different angles, points of view and positions, which is why we needed to perfect the match on action. The scene that required the most match on action, was the scene between Ty and Gaby. 

On a overall note, the actors cooperation and the equipment made the filming session a success and very productive. The actors were very flexible with what we asked of them, they also memorised all their dialogue which made the process a lot easier. The lighting equipment also allowed us to experiment with the different angles and also with the scenes. We all hope that the next filming session is as straightforward and successful as today's one.
