20. Filming Day 1

     The first day filming was quite awful. The original location was scrapped due to there being almost no room for someone to sit, let alone an entire tripod, plus the sunset was no where near I wanted it. The new location, is more spacious, however the sunset gets blocked by the houses across the river, meaning there was even less time to film and the part I needed, the red, was blocked as well. 

(The camera makes it look much brighter than it actually was at the time, I couldn't get a decent shot of myself without the light)

    Unsurprisingly, help was needed, since the sun was rapidly going down, I quit being stubborn and got help, not much help but it would do. 

    The sunset itself was also not the nicest, lots of clouds and very yellow, not to mention when I went to zoom in on the sun it was terrible looking, you could count all the pixels. I was hoping for a vast array of yellow and orange in the sky, to avoid that, however I decided to just film everything and go bak again when I have reviewed and understood what needed to be changed. 

    The sun going down was a strong problem in itself, but it could show that the character had been outside for a long time and the time is passing rather quickly. If I decide to play into that I would either need to get the shots in order or film quickly, so the film won't have random real life "time skips" where the sun is in different positions. 

    Even with all the misfortune of that filming session, I did collect a bit of wild sound, like wind, the river's water and some walking/ grass sounds.
