This week Dimi and I, as the cinematographer filmed the remaining two scenes of the film. Before filming could proceed we had to make sure that all we were given the all clear to go ahead, making sure that all the appropriate paper work was filled out and signed, such as the Indemnity Form for the Site Visit and the Agreement for Use of the Site.
Some minor complications regarding the set up of the camera equipment which I was in charge was encountered as the stand for the camera was not fully operational, with one leg refusing to stay in place. This was detrimental to our filming as stillness was an essential element in the scenes. We were able to temporarily find a way to fix the stand for the filming.
One of the things we had to work around was constant interruptions of gym members walking into the scenes. To counter act this we made sure to film several takes so that in the editing process this would not prove a hindrance.
The final scene, which is a home scene, required me to be in front of the camera acting instead of operating it. We overcame this, by allowing Dimi to operate the camera. I had to make sure to correctly instruct Dimi on how to operate the camera.
Filming for the day was successful, and is now ready to officially entre the editing stage of our film.
