The second day of filming went very well. I began by capturing the long shots, and handheld camera mid shots on Wednesday Market, Beverley. This took little time and I was able to gain what I needed very quickly. As the talent started the scene quite a distance away from me they weren't able to hear me when I called 'action', to overcome this problem I developed a hand signal which they understood as meaning the same as 'action'.
Next, we moved on to film in Lempicka cafe, Beverley. I bought myself, Jordan and Leah a piece of cake and drink each which acted as both a food break and the performance needed for the scene. I set the camera up next to me so it was just a little taller than the table. This was where I shot mid two shots, close ups and extreme close ups. I also experimented and used the same idea of using handheld camera to show them in each other's point of view. When I was granted permission to film in the cafe by my boss the conditions were that I seek written permission from any customers which may be accidentally in the shot. With some discussion between myself and my media tutor and myself and my boss, we decided that I would go speak to any customers which may be in the shot, explain what I was doing and who I was and give them the option to opt out of being in the video if they wish.
Finally, we moved on to filming in the park. At first there were children in the park, so to use the time which we waited for them to go effectively, we shot some long shots, mid long shots and close ups outside the park which I required. The park scene is yet another flashback scene and these types of shots allowed me to show the intimacy between the couple.
