29th and 30th September filming

For this shoot, we did our filming in certain locations in Bristol for the 'town settings' needed. We filmed specifically on a road just off Victoria Street and on the Downs. We needed Emma Smith to attend and had to get her to wear clothes with a similar 'indie' or carefree theme which we planned would fit the persona of the character. We decided to multiple shots of the same few second to make sure that we got plenty of different angles on the action and keep to at least the one shot per three seconds.

The props that we needed were the cut-out paper hearts which we used both in the cutting out shots and in the industrial shot of them falling from Emma. The other props we needed were the cut out photos of Emma during he scene where the camera pans through the photos of her to her sitting on an outcropping of rocks.
One of the problems we faced is we again faced the fast fading daylight, so had to rush with our filming. Furthermore we had a problem with finding an industrial looking location that didn't have too many people walking back and forth so we could get a shot with only Emma in it. We faced the same problem in the shots at the downs since it is frequented by dog walkers and joggers so we had to time our shoots well.
Another problem we faced is placing the pieces of paper on the ground and making them stay there since it was a windy day. We solved this by putting small rocks on the pieces of paper so they were barely visible from the camera unless you looked for them.
A final problem we had is the fact that many of our shots were very static, so we used the Ken Burn tool in the editing stage to make the shots more dynamic and interesting for the audience.
