Filming the Stage Scene - 15/11/10

Today we filmed Mackenzie walking onto the stage from behind a curtain. We did this shot approximately 6 times, all from different angles. We did it this many times because we needed different angles to see which would be best, and then conjoin them in editing to make it obvious he was on his own. The first few shots were straight on of Mackenzie walking from behind the curtain to behind the mic. The next few were of a side view of Mackenzie doing the exact same thing. We decided to then do a steadycam shot going around Mackenzie. We did this twice but the footage showed it was too shaky when looking back at it, so we decided to forget this shot and stay with what we have. We then moved onto doing a shot of Mackenzie walking down some stairs, unfortunately the camera was not charged and so the battery went flat before we could film this part. We aim to do this another day with a fully charged camera.
