Days 2 – 4

I have not felt the need to blog on a daily basis this week, as the production ran very smoothly. As all the scenes were shot in 3 rooms, we were able to work out any trouble spots that may effect the audio. There were only a few issues:

• The living room contained a fireplace, and on the seconf day of filming the wind noise coming through became quite apparent. To tackle this, we used a thick fabric throw to cover the fireplace which worked perfectly and stayed there for the remainder of the week.
• During a take on the second day, a hanging basket outside was creaking due to the wind and this also became apparent on the recording. We quite simply solved this by taking the basket down for the remainder of the week.
• The living room, although large, was not big enough to accommodate for all the equipment, in particularly the lighting, which took up a lot of space. To work around this, we occasionally had to position ourselves behind objects that are in shot, which although was awkward, it was also manageable.

Overall, the shoot this week went very well. We have become accustomed to using the equipment effectively as well as working well with the filming crew. I have attached the call sheets as well as some pictures of the shoot below.
