Knowing that the firework display event is happening very soon, we decided to plan out the location we are going to film and get in touch with the actors to make sure that they are available.
There were two venues that we were looking at as they are close by to where we live. Since they are held in different days, we were planning on shooting twice for the firework display scene to make sure that we get all the footage we needed, and in case we need to re-shoot. Unfortunately, the actor couldn't do it on the 3rd of November, which leaves us to shoot on the 4th.
On the day, 4th Nov, I came down to Thornbury Mundy Playing Fields as the event was held there. We filmed during the bonfire and firework display. We were planning on having a dark black background when shooting the actor's face from the front. However, the lighting was not very good as there was a huge white light at the back to light up the place.
Much footage of the bonfire and firework were taken as we are going to use it as a transition clip.
I did an experiment on a couple of things whilst filming, which includes me playing around with the zoom and the focus point. It was interesting to see the footage and we liked it so much.
We also liked the shot of the actor's face during bonfire since the fire gives out a really nice warm lighting to her face.
Unfortunately, I didn't do a lip sync scene in that location and when we edit it, we realised that we need some. Since we can't do a re-shot, we thought through it and came up with another idea which will be the actor singing in a dark room with spotlight in black clothing and simple make-up. This clip would be useful to fill in the gaps that we have on our editing.
