Procduction log 11.12.09

Today was the third filming session we have had, things are going well and i am pleased with the styles and the shots we are coming out with. We are planning every shot with careful detail and making sure the dance and movement flows. One thing we have stick to since the beginning is to make sure we have more than needed images, we have over shot making sure each sequence and shot is fully prepared to remove excess images other than need images to put in.
The main issue we have encountered during filming is lighting, we knew this was going to be a major issue because from the start we knew that it would have been hard to acquire the right form of lighting. We were always looking for a soft style lighting, more ‘mood lighting’. We didn’t want to use studio lights as this would cause a very harsh effect, we decided to to chance it and use natural lighting arranging the blinds to to opt for the right angles in the light. After some adjustments we felt that we had a nice exposure to our photographs, this was good for the day, we soon realized that when we came to shoot on a another day the lighting may not be the same as it was last time. This is the main problem we have encountered, maintaining an even exposure.
The other small problem we encounter was movement, keeping a continuous motion and making it flow through out the this will be something we shall look further into when editing.
