We began the shoots day filming outside. We were lucky with the weather seeing as it was a sunny day. We didn’t need to set up our set but we did need to get our prop ready, our dumby. Our dumby was a something our group had made, a few weeks before our shooting day. We made the dumby to look like our actor and made them wear the same clothes. We began the shoots day filming outside. We were lucky with the weather seeing as it was a sunny day. We made the dumby to look like our actor and made them wear the same clothes. We made the dumby heavy so the impact when it hit the floor would be greater and so that the sound could have more of an effect. We started shooting outside the theatre; our first shot was of James on a table to create the effect of him jumping to make it look realistic. We did other shots of him throwing paper, (tracking, close up, mid shots). We filmed a shot of James jumping over the camera, which worked very well because it made it look very realistic.
We did various shots of paper falling which included yet more close up and tracking shots. We also did two silhouette shots from behind filming the back of James and his jump. We did a few shots of the fall of the Dummy named 'Billy' by our group. We threw him about 6 times and tried out different things, like a bellyflop. It look a few throws the dumby to fall right. The costumes worked really well because they were simple but effective. They dumby and James were wearing basically the same thing (jacket and jeans) so that was not a problem. There was no extra lighting only natural sunlight as we were filming outside. Throughout the day the sky changed color which shows in some of the shots and therefore we must edit that.
All in all I think that it went very well and I am pleased with the outcome of our shooting day.
