TW: My role in our second shoot

Filming
I took the major role in filming on Monday; filming the majority of shots we did which weren't from high angles (Luca did these ones) - these included 'filler shots' of flowers; and all the extreme close ups. For example - the canted angle used in the pick-up of the pencil, and a close up of the plant being trimmed.











Organisation
I brought a call sheet, and a precise list and description of shots we to film on Monday. I then ensured we systematically went through each shot - often acting out specifically what we desired to our actor. Direct organisation and orders were helpful at a time when we were tight on time, light, and in quite poor weather conditions - was necessary.
Once again - we all had to organise and arrange our set; another example of where organisation was needed.

Continuity
Using pictures taken at the previous shoot - I organised the greenhouse layout to ensure continuity, and made sure actions began slightly before they needed to - and ended slightly after also. An example of this is when Billy takes the lab-coat from the hanger - we only need the part where it is taken off, but we filmed him moving towards, taking, and moving away from it - to ensure, when editing: it doesn't look choppy.
