DAY 2 of filming opening credits
We turned up on time at the set of the pub. the set
was brilliant and very easy to set up. within a few minutes we were ready for
our first few shots. all seemed to flow very well and the scenery was great. we
even adapted some things to make use of the scenary and have the modern mixed
with the old style with the beer taps and whiskey on a wooden bar.
mirrors and space were an issue. there was not much
room around the bar so we couldn't get as wide as we would of liked due to
there being a wall in the way. but working around it we managed to get our
shots and they looked relatively good. other issues were movement. often our
shots slide up and across. this was a massive issue as it was just so wobbaly.
we needed something that could let us move but not use our legs. next time we
are looking to use a scateboard or a trolly to be able to be able keep up with
the character and not be wobbling the whole time. to counter that we added in
an additional shot. this made us able to film a small bit without having to
move as much then break into a stiller shot, then back to the moving one. this
broke it up and made it a lot faster and cut out wobbles.
we filmed all of our scenes and packed up. once we
loaded them up to the laptop we found it was all just way too dark. so we are
having to go back and re film. we made a small draft edited version of what we
had and it was all too slow. when we go back to refilm we are going to add
extra shots and move the shots between alot quicker to liven things up abit. it
was just too plain slow and boring, everything happened slowey and didnt engage
in what a western viewer would want from the opening which is action based and
builds suspense.
costumes looked perfect for the baddies. but the
next day will also include the barmans shots and extra bits and pieces we need to
speed up the whole opening and plan on where the stills for each characters
credit will be when it comes onto their shot which we didn't plan ahead enough
for.
