Production Day 1

Production for Elements has now been started. The first shoot for both Effie's and Zoe's parts have been completed. Below is some shots of the opening in production.

However, due to business in the town center and music being played, we had to move the meeting place to them meeting on a bridge rather than them meeting by a cafe - as this was a quiter place to film - so sound quality would be better.

Because of this we had to change the narrative slightly, to make the charecter of 'Flo' control the water under the bridge, rather than the water being controlled in the cafe.
Overall the filming went well and we managed to get most of the shots that we needed.


During this scene, we used both the tri-pod and hand held shots to get the feel we wanted for the scene, the shots from the arcade came out really well. We tried to stick to the storyboard to make sure we had all the footage we needed, however we also tried a variety of different shots, which may look better in the edit or we could use to fill in any gaps that came up.


As well as the scenes with Effie we also got some establishing shots, for the begging of each scene. For the very first establishing shot, we needed to shoot the whole of Bournemouth, Joe found a good location for this, on top of primark, which gives a great high shot of the town.
