Edale Shoot






Here are some pictures of production during our shoot on location in Edale. The still at the very top was taken for publicity shots and then below are progress during the shoot and using plastic bags as rain covers to protect equipment! Finally, there is one of the nice spots that we found to film in and there were some development of ideas to incorporate these so the storyboard wasn't really kept to at all. We decided to do a montage of feet kicking the pebble instead of just the one walker for example and we added more "steps" of the pebble's journey, like cars rolling over it. The day was good but some weather conditions prevented some of our shot ideas such as the POV into the sky but due to rain it would make it difficult to shoot without damaging the equipment so we abandoned these ideas. In hindsight, I would have preferred to get more footage because I don't think that we will have enough - we filmed a lot but thinking back over the day quite a lot of the time was used doing retakes. In my next project, I will bear this in mind as mainly, we just stuck to the 10 mins of footage for 1 min of edited product - however, this doesn't really incorporate retakes.

Shot List for Edale so far

I've created a shot list for the Edale shoot but I don't think there's enough on there to get us up to three minutes. This is the first comprehensive shot list I've created, as before I've always just done one as an addition to storyboarding, but this time I've done it in the hopes of increasing my ideas for the final storyboard. I used the first storyboard I made as a starting point for this shot list with a few extra ideas added and am now in the process of drawing up a final storyboard which I'll add on here hopefully Wednesday. I'm glad I used this method when planning this short as it gives me a sense of what I want to include and where in the sequencing I want things to go. I've never used scene and act before to order shots and this is helpful in this document for creating segments of action.
