On Friday, as scheduled, we re-shot the Skate Park scene and shot the White Room scene. When shooting the skate park scene again, things went pretty much according to plan. We did not manage to get shots of skaters though because the skate park was deserted. One problem that we did have to deal with was the sun, the sun was very bright so we tried to block it out with an umberella, this didn't work so we went away and shoot something else and when the sun went down we re-shoot it. However, when setting up the White Room with the instruments and cameras, we decided the room wasn't as we'd expected. The marks on the walls showed up on the camera and the lights didn't help in making the room look clean white. All the same, we managed to find an instant alternative. The Great Hall which has a white wall, this was available although we had to wait for a while. We then transported all of our props and filming equipment and set up the location. During the setting up of location we found extra stage lighting which we decided to set up, although this did cause some problems as at some angles it left a shadow, we then tried turning some of the lights down and finally got the lighting how we wanted it. We decided to set up a camera which had all the instruments in shoot, and another camera which was used to get angled shoots and close up shots. If we was filming for a real music I realise that we would probably do the establishing shoots first where his playing all the instruments , we would then keep one instrument in shoot and take the others out, this would mean only one instrument was in shoot at a time.
