Filming

On Monday we set out to film our Valentines Day scene. We firstly set out the table with romantic items such as confetti and candles and also made toast with I LOVE YOU imprinted on it. We filmed panning shots of the table leading to Ruby sitting at the end looking unimpressed and angry at Ken for being late. We also filmed an argument scene that will be used before she reminisces over the good times they have had together. We also did lipsyncing shots of her, after him handing her a rose which is the moment where she thinks about her and Ken. To make it look effective we made a mini rose for Ken to hold and contrasted this with a human sized rose, but we will edit it to look like a seamless transition as if the rose increases in size as he hands it to Ruby.

Next, we filmed the opening scene in which Ruby is looking through pictures of her and Ken, we did this in a number of locations in order for us to decide what looks best when editing. For example, we did the first scene on a plain canvas in the living room to draw attention to the photos whilst we also filmed a scene of Ruby looking through them in her bedroom, we think we may use the blank canvas as using Rubys bedroom scene is quite stereotypical, of a girl being in a girly room thinking about her relationship.

Lastly, we did the lip tattoos for the lip syncing of whistles. They proved difficult to both apply and remove but we managed to get a few decent shots of lipsyncing using different patterns. If they do not look effective when editing we will have to refilm.

Whilst filming we gained a lot of inspiration and ended up filming alot of stuff which was not from our stroryboard. For example we filmed bites being taken out of the toast which we thought we could use for stop animation. Also we filmed Ruby and Ken on the sofa, one scene her being angry at him and the other where she is happy and loving. We thought we could do a split screen of her two moods using Final Cut oro due to us being taught to use it last lesson.

Overall, the filming was a success and we are eager to edit our footage using our new skills in Final Cut.
