Filming Day 4...

Myself, Alex, Rhys & Ollie went to Southerndown to try and finalise our shots that focus on Alex and his character. We had slightly thought of a plan of what shots we wanted to film however we did decide that we would film what we felt was right at the time. This worked well as we felt freer and thought of many ideas on the spot whilst filming.

We used the sun breaking through the cloud to our advantage it looked really effective on camera, providing a powerful establishing shot.

   

The medium shot of Alex here is one that I took on my iPhone. We all really liked this still image and thought about it using it for our digipaks. I feel like that it captures his emotion rather well and his empty state of mind.

In order to get some of our shots of Alex sitting on the rocks, we had to make sure he could safely get up and down the rocks without causing any harm or danger to himself or any other group members. The high-level shots of Alex were working really well and with the use of two cameras, Rhys & Ollie experimented with many different angles whilst Alex was sitting on the edge of the rocks. 

To get some different and unique shots, we decided to place the camera and tripod on the ground near a pool of water. We then decided that Alex would past the camera, in the pool of water and then off into the distance. When we viewed this clip back we found it to look really effective and we immediately liked it.
