Production of Forest Scenes

Even though the previous plan of filming did not go ahead, it allowed practise of the form of the togas upon the actors and make-up. Therefore, when it came to the day of filming, less time was taken up by hair and make-up and the costumes.

In order to avoid the problem of not finding the location, further investigation went into it's precise whereabouts.

Due to a previous commitment by an actor, I organised for the shots that included him where to be filmed first. Also, due to the temperature outside, blankets and coats were held by a Runner of whom gave the actors, who were not currently in that shot, warmth.

What came apparent was that even though I had given great thought into both the acting and technical sides of the production, little had been done about practise of the camera positions. Therefore, unfortunately, it took a little more time to set up the shots.

Overall, upon reflection upon what was filmed, I believe it to have gone well. I did, however had to use two cameras. This was due to the battery running out.

For this part of the music video I knew it was ambitious to have so many people taking part. When looking through I am very pleased to have so many helping as when not in current shots they were able to throw pictures and leaves into shots. This also quickened the pace in which the forest scenes were filmed. I am very thankful to those who took part.
