Day Of shoot

In this post we will discuss how our shooting went on tuesday 7th.
We travelled into town to begin our shoot. On our way to the grafton centre we found a car park area which would be ideal for shooting the caged scene at the end in which the elephant is caged.
We shot this from various angles trying to find the most realistic possibility. We then decided to shoot an aerial shot in which we shot from the roof of the grafton centre down to the road below. We were circled by a helicopter which gave us a good idea. The idea that the chopper was following our elephant around the city because of the media who were around the elephant.
We then scouted for good areas to shoot our next part of the footage. From the car park roof we found an elevator that we could use to shoot a new idea. The idea was to stop the music and have the elephant in the elevator with elevator music to add a bit of humour and a break.
After this we decided to have a team meal at maccy d's with the intention to scout for new locations on the journey. We found a quiet street where the elephant would interact with the public (harry). This was also the location for our happy nice elephant. Where he picks up litter and recycles and reading the paper in a calm manner. We also used this area to shoot our Bob Dylan look alike scene with the lyrics on cards.
After this we attended a very high class team meal at macdonalds where floyd and michelle had weird, strange things to eat whereas chris and harry kept it simple with a vintage big mac.
We then went on to film our bus journey footage, it was pretty difficult to film as the bus was shakey and there wasn't much space, foolishly we did not anticipate this. Also filming the elephant leaving the bus was hard as we had to get off the bus first and quickly film floyd getting off. We got a few strange looks by general bus goers.
We returned to college and in the lesson the next day we continued to film aas michelle started to edit what we already had. We used this oppurtunity to film the elephant getting arrested and thrown in a cell/room. We also rounded up some peers to perform in our protest against the elephant. This shooting day went well and we returned to the class room to add what we just filmed.

All in all we had a very successful shoot but obviously with some hiccups.
