Filming: Day 1

For this day we had limited amount of time to film due to our actors having other commitments. Therefore we decided that we would spend this time filming the tracking shot of the girls sat on the bench. We started the day by doing Lauren's makeup for the scene as she had to look distressed and somewhat unsightly. We allowed ourselves half an hour in order to complete this. We then began filming the scene.
In order to move around the girls accurately whilst still being able to get a steady camera movement, we used a push bike. This was effective as I could steer the bike, therefore being able to move around the girls in the correct shape, then Lucy would hold the camera in place on the seat of the bike. By using this method I could accurately control the direction of the bike whilst Lucy steadied the camera and made sure that we had a good quality clip. 
We then had to get close up shots of Lauren looking directly into the camera. We first tried using a tripod but we were not able to get close enough to her face and we felt that the standard of the shot was not at the level of quality that we had expected. Therefore we took initiative and had our other actress bend over whilst I balanced the camera on her back. This allowed us to get the extreme close up that we wanted and also achieve the best quality that we could. 
Overall filming was successful. We were able to get a variety of shots at a high quality
