First Shooting - February

On our first day we decided to do the park scene, we found this to be very successful but very time consuming as we need lot's of different shots so that when we came to edit we had a variety to choose from.
We decided to choose a park in Gnosall as this was more secluded and had the right scenery in the background. We wanted a park which there were trees in the background and you could not see the road from where you were filming so this park was ideal to create the atmosphere we wanted.
The park however was very busy in the February half term. But we still managed to get the right shots with the perfect weather conditions. We got shots from all different angles and distances so that when it came to edit we could build up the scene.
The actor, Teylor, with her costume began to swing, we then began shooting. We used tracking shots, point of view shots, close ups, long shots, reverse angle shots etc.

Once the park scene was done we had planned to go back to scene the rest of the opening in which the shadows would be created on a blank wall. This was however not possible because of time so we had to arrange to do this another time, which in the end did not create any big problems with our schedule.
