Group post: Day 1 - Wednesday 26th October

Today was our first day of shooting our music video 'Gravity'.  The locations we used today were Amy Jacklin's house and Amy Johnson's where we used Amy Jacklin's front door to show her walking out of the house and leaving and Amy Johnsons bedroom to film them cuddling and her bathroom to show her singing into the mirror. During the day we got everything we wanted to get done filmed. At our first location we had no problems as everything went really well. However during the second scene we were planning to film we struggled to get the lighting right, as the scene we were trying to film in the bedroom is mean't to be at night. But due to having the curtains and the blinds shut this made seeing the faces of Sophie and Charlie extremely hard. We tried numerous ways to solve this problem, including using fairy lights above the actors heads and having Amy, our helper for the day, standing with a lamp pointing at the ceiling so it didn't make the scene look too bright so it is a realistic light for a night time scene. Finally all of the shots we took in the bathroom went really well as the lighting was really effective. Overall I believe that our first day went really well and  I believe that we are well on target for the rest of our filming.
