filming 3rd December

before we went to our location, the producer and i had to find a picture that would best suit the mother of Elizabeth, once we found the picture we then added some touches to it, by using photoshop and making it look antique. we then printed it a few times, once in black n white and then the other times n colour but different sizes. this is so that when we put it in the frame the one that looks and fits the best can be used. we then rushed to our location as we had very little time to prepare the mis en scene and then record the scene. we wanted to give this scene a very modern touch, we wanted the camera to go around the character and zoom in to her face then her eyes. we were not very sure how we were going to do this becuase we did not have special equipment. however, our producer's dad owns a Dolly and she was able to bring it and let us use it. the producer showed and explained to us how to use the dolly in the best way. so we placed the camera and the stand on the dolly while i moved the dolly the director filmed the shot and the camera women gave the orders to tell the character when to look up. the shot was very interesting. we done the shot a few times so that we could get it as perfect as we could. it was rather fun filming this shot i really enjoyed it. we were very careful not to burn our selves while we all prepared the scene, we used candles becuase it gives a religous theme which is what we wanted. =D
