After the first shoot at Erith Pier we decided we needed to go back and change things while re-shooting. We changed her clothes, her hair, her shoes, we made her make-up more bold and we brought a speaker so we could play the music to the song out loud during the lip-syncing shots. All four of us attended as we filming during the afternoon.
The camera we were using was Cannon Legria FS306. we used a tripod to help up get a steady shot. A advantage of this tripod is that you can turn it around gentle to gain a smoother pan shot.
This is the outfit we can see her in. We kept the same dress but removed the coat as well as adding the hat. We also changed the shoes and restyled the hair.
It was a freezing cold day but Katie managed to power through in just a summer dress and two pairs of clear tights. We would set up the shots with her in a coat and scarf and then get her to take it off just as we start to film. As soon as that take was done we would then wrap her back up again.
During the sections of filming where Katie was supposed to be lip syncing I had to stand behind her, just out of shot, with my iPod playing the song out loud so that we could fit the song to her lips easier. You can see this in the Gif on the left. You can also see me holding her coat for when we finish the shot so she can warm up as quickly as possible.
Great stuff. Remember to think of your framing. Consider using framing devices in the film to isolate and identify the protagonist.
