Shooting in Half Term

During the half term, my group met up to do some filming. Luckily, considering we are in October/November, the weather was bright and sunny- exactly the weather we needed for the first time Autumn (Rosie) enters the woods.

We came across a few dog walkers when filming, which meant we had to keep stopping and starting our filming. This put us off a bit as it meant that our creative flow was interrupted!

We got some really good shots of Autumn (Rosie) skipping and walking through the woods. However, now that the sky is getting darker quicker, we were limited with time, meaning that we may have to meet up again to get some more footage. We are praying for another day of good weather! An advantage of the darker weather now is we can film Rosie in her room, crying, whilst hearing her parents arguing, meaning we will get some pathetic fallacy, with the rain mirroring her tears.

The next plan is to get some shots of Rosie in her room for the opening sequence and the wardrobe scene whilst the weather is dark and gloomy. This can be done anytime during the week after 3 (once Rosie has finished school.)

Rosie's minimal makeup, hair and costume worked well in the woods. Instead of the white dress, she wore jeans, boots and a checkered purple coat, because of the cold, wet weather.  The deep purple worked well in the woods and contrasted with the green trees and brown leaves and tree trunks.
