First day of Filming

Hurrah! Filming has become, and although it's given me hope that the video won't turn completely upside down there was a slight feeling that i didn't want to be doing this for weeks. It was however a lot of fun and successful in many points. I can speak for myself and Holly and Syldva that we really didn't know what to expect but were very happy on how things started for us.
We were in my opinion very organised with clear frames of mind on how we wanted this to work out. With the lovely, spot-on costume i arranged for Sylvda we were able to fit into a state of mind on how the acting and representation had to come across.
We remembered all the filming equipment we needed as well as speakers and music source. I couldn't have been more pleased on how Syldva fitted right into her role as artist, as i must admit those towering heels and skimpy jumpsuit weren't a help. The worst also came to us when we had to wrap up in scarfs and put on gloves, the weather could have been much better, but for a day of November we couldn't have asked for more. We found this an issue when we were trying to get shots of a blue sky that was desperately needed; no such luck.
Filming was a fun task that i put myself into, taking turns with Holly, although i did constantly snatch away the camera we managed to work between us to produce enticing shots. I wasn't necessarily being selfish but i know editing is my weak point and filming is something i enjoy, i thought i would give my all to have a positive and fair outcome with the rest of the group.
A problem we did have which we didn't account for before was the amount of people who would pass in front of the camera, making us have to shoot repeatedly because of the screen distraction. The fact was that we weren't even in a busy area but a little side road. Things could have been worse i guess, but i do look forward to the rest of the filming!
