Re-shooting Flashback Two

After re-shooting the opening scene we came straight back to my house to re-film flashback two. I pulled the curtains on and got a collection of lamps from various rooms in the house to get more light into the shot whilst keeping it warm and naturalistic. I also increased my ISO to 400 to let more light into the lens. Then I adjusted my white balance to fully artificial light and got the pre-recorded news report set up on the living room TV.

Me and Lucy did a few practices with the tracking shot to get the speed and camera position right and then we started to film. I used manual focus again to have Lucy in focus at the start but then, when she walks out of shot, I do a push focus to make the image on the TV clear, indicating that this is important and what the audience should be focussed on.

We encountered the same problems as before, trying to time the walk with the video, but we managed to get the shot much faster the second time around because we had a better idea of how to tackle the problem and had more practice from the previous shoot.
