As I booked out the kit for our second shoot, we found out that we weren't allowed to use our original camera that we had used in the previous shoot (Canon C300) as it wasn't on the "Experimental Film list". This meant that I had to amend the booking to have a different camera. At this point all the best cameras had been booked out so we had to use the Black Magic pocket camera. Which was disappointing. This now meant that we were going to have different quality footage in our film. I had also never used the Black Magic so I would have to learn how to use a new camera. We also were told that we weren't allowed to take the track and dolly outside to our location so this ruined the plans for our tracking time lapse shot that we had planned on doing for the breastfeeding scene. I then had to reconsider different shots that could be just as effective.
On the day of the shoot, we experimented with a few different ways of filming the breastfeeding scene. We just ran shot shot through as normal first to see if we could fast forward it in post- production to try and get the same effect as a time lapse. We then also tried out doing stop motion, where we moved the camera forward after every shot as a way of tracking in. Hopefully these techniques prove to be just as powerful so we can get the point of our film across.
We then had shoot days planned and then participants drop out on the day so we had to find new people to try and do our scenes which proved difficult to find people willing to do our edgy material. We then also experience software issues when it came to the edit for the film which made it hard to focus on the edit whereas, instead we had to sort out all the other issues.
All in all, I think we managed we and produced a film that we are proud of and had a lot of fun making it.
