The day begin with Nat and I dring to uni to pick up the camera. I almost had a heartattack when I arrived at the camera office to discover that they were closed for lunch. I was running around grabbing random people asking them if they knew where the 'camera people' were and all I got were a few shrugs and funny looks. Just when I was about to slope back to the car in a state of misery to consider my options the camera office opened and after a lot of begging and pleading to a not very happy camera man I got the camera! Thank sweet Jesus.
So Nat and I set off on our way to London. We somehow managed to get the whole way to Elle's house in Richmond without getting lost (much) and we headed to Elle's friends house to get ready.
Last week Elle and I had gone shopping to buy clothes for Freddie’s young girl character. We knew wat kind of thing we were looking for and we decided on a plain white nightdress from bhs which we sewed lace around the collar and sleeves to give it that vintage, old fashioned look. We found some amazing black lace up boots from a charity shop for £5 which we loved and thought they were very puritan in style. We decided again tights as we wanted the girl to appear as if she had just gotten out of bed. Below is the outfit:

We had some problems making the ‘hooded-lurker freak’ costume, the girl who said she’s help us was called Charlotte and we chose her for her height and slim body type. On the following page is an image of us experimenting with the costume:
We all headed to sheen common to begin our shooting. To get that dreamy effect we used manual mode on the camera but also experimented using autofocus but this just looked too crisp.
We really loved the image of Freddie above. We thought the lighting was very atmospheric and the tree in the background was eery and interesting. Whilst we didn’t get any shots of the tree upclose, we intend to when we go back for our final shoot.
We experimented with candles and hanging ribbons from trees. Whilst we thought the swirled footage of the candles we weren’t keen on the ribbons.
Overall the shoot day went very well and looking back at the footage we learnt a lot and got lots of shots we are able to use in the final cut.
