Filming in the drama studio - 'The stage' 05/12/12.

Matiss on the camera, since out actual camera operator Jamie was unable to make the date , Ed was playing the role of the pianist and Tom was teaching me how to play the various key's on the piano.

The light's that Steve supplied us proved to be of exceptional use, we placed them around the piano and gave one of the lights a red wash, which gave a nice crimson glow over the piano. However one of the three lights that we had  failed to work, so we were only left with two, but even with one light out of action the other two proved more than their worth in making up for the downed light. 

This was one of the close up shots that we had of Ed on the piano, we took numerous shots of Ed on the piano ranging from a pan shot to a close up of Ed playing the keys on the piano.

This is a still of Ed lip syncing the song 'Mad world', we took several takes of Ed lip syncing the song, but since he knew the song word for word, and clearly moved his mouth to match the words of the song, which will prove useful when it comes to syncing the video up with the audio track.

Another shot of Matiss and Ed in the studio, this was where we were taking shots of Ed using mime to pretend to play the piano so it would look more authentic when we got to the editing stage. 

A slightly blurry shot comprised of one of our lighting stands which was positioned downstage left of the piano since there was a lack of plug sockets we had to stretch the wires along the floor which proved quite dangerous and our camera operator did catch the wire couple of times, but thankfully no fatality's, however there were some jolted shots and colorful language exchanged with our camera operator and  the wire, after this we re-evaluated and amended the pink risk assessment sheet so it included the dangers of overstretched wires, we decided to use Tom as a 'Grip' to guide the camera operator around obstacles.
