Production: Final Set of Footage (External Shots: Scene 6-7)

By the time December came around, we had to hurry up with filming and get our last shots done before our chosen environments began changing due to seasonal changes. By the time we had gotten to filming, people had already began hanging Christmas lights up, so we had to make sure we hid this time elapse as much as we possibly could. However, it could be argued that you can't see any of these lights in the day time due to them not being on anyway.

We also had to work with darkness as best as we could, as we couldn't use artificial lighting in the external environments we were in due to safety, security and simply non-access to electricity sources. We tried to keep in lit areas and make sure to keep our camera as still as possible to avoid too much blurred movement. We did however mange to create really nice, clear panning movements in some of our shots. 

I complied some screenshots of the footage we filmed on our final shoot and created a .gif image with that that follows a basic fade cycle loop.

Overall, we captured 38:30:09 minutes of footage from all of our shoots. We all agreed that our footage was all just how we wanted it and that we could now begin to edit it all together, into a 5 minute long short film, in our next stage; post-production!

We also got hold of some legally binding release forms for the actors to sign. These would give 'Makley Productions' legal rights to use the actors in any footage, giving consent.
