Directions Unit 2: Filming Day 1

On day 1 we filmed the opening scene where Yasmin wakes up and leaves her house, as well as the end scene when she returns to her house to open the package. Throughout the day I had Vittorio Falcucci on camera with the mic on top of the camera as it was very clear - the cast and crew all went very smoothly as cameraman and my actress both came down early to film, so far we was on schedule.

It took a while to get lighting right as the white balance kept going off when we tried to film the bathroom scene as it looked quite yellowy. However, we fixed the problem by already having the light switched on and white balanced it whilst the light was on and used the other light switch to 'turn' the bathroom light 'on'. 

The only problem we had during the day was the quality of the shots didn't look that sharp as I was using plug in lights to create a calming, peaceful atmosphere.

However, we got both scenes done within a few hours and the day went smoothly.
