Late night filming on Thursday 18th

On Thursday 18th, Tamanna and I, on behalf of the whole group, decided to re-film the whole piano scene; because - as previously stated on a blog post - we were majorly unhappy with the footage once uploaded. So, we prepped our actress with the correct make up (smoky eyes, clear complexion and red, glossy lips) and the best hair-do to compliment the make up - hair up in a neat bun.

Once we had done the hair and make up to perfection, we, including the help of our actress - strung the white net up! We had it strung up against a blue curtain so there was nothing that could be seen through the net. The difficulties found during this was that the string was not long enough to attach it to the window instead Tamanna offered to give her headphones to make it work, so we did :) and white taped it on, so it did not come off. Another was being interrupted by the caretaker who had to line up the benches, this meant that we had to allow him to switch on the main assembly hall lights which was a real let down. Despite that we carried on using the spot light to add the shadowy effect it also without the spot light, looking through the camera it did not look pleasant. (picture available below)  Plus, we managed to push the piano against the backdrop so it looked much more efficient than the first time round. Also, we had the fan again so we got a better ripple effect on the curtains, but we couldn't have it billowing because it kept separating the two pieces and exposing the blue curtain behind. Tamanna bought small tea light candles which we placed all over the piano (we were very cautious when lighting them...) adding a more intimate effect.

All in all, we were very pleased with last night's footage and are hoping that once it is uploaded we will be much more satisfied with the outcome and if need be, we'll only need to do this particular scene for a different range of shots.
