Shoot Day...

Yesterday we shot the footage for our film. We wanted to try and get everything filmed on one day, as we knew out model would be FREEZING and we didn't want to put her through any more of an ordeal then she already was.

The day started at 11.30am when I picked up Sophie and bought her back to my house in order to prep her for the shoot. We tried on the outfit quickly to make sure everything was perfect, packed up an extensive supply of blankets, jackets and dressing gowns, to make sure Sophie was comfortable. When Rosie and Sam arrived (Rosie friend assisting us with the shoot) we set off in two cars following Rosie..my friend Lisanne Churcher also came along for the day (Eager to see what our work involves and to give a helping hand)....

Although we have already been to Mote park for testing, we needed to find the alternative entrance in order to get as close to our desired part of location as possible. After driving around for an hour and a half... (Rosie really didn't know where she was going and she also doesn't know where her indicator is haha) We finally arrived...

We got Sophie dressed and wondered off to start our filming....4 hours and 4 sandwiches later we had 4 hours of footage to play with... Sophie was such a trooper throughout, although absolutely freezing, we horribly asked her to get in the lake and didn't so much as care.

I feel we have really good footage to play around with, and it feels such a relief to have finished filming. ALOT of editing is needed before we can call the film perfect and our own, but it really feels great to have made such a strong start.

We also did our presentation today...I know i've already posted about it ALOT i'm just so excited that Geraldine and Denis liked the look of our original footage, and it has given me great enthusiasm to create something brilliant.

Here's a couple of stills from the day..Not that exciting as we didn't have time to be whipping out the camera as well as the video recorder. I had to help Sophie into the lake to show her that it wasn't that bad...God how I regret that...Overall though the day was a brilliant laugh...
