Journal - 07/01/13 The sink

Unfortunately we was unable to film at Danson park because we was unable to receive permission to film and drop a photo into the lake. We decided to use a sink instead and create 'lake like' water by using a range of leaves. The location was at Daisy's house because we felt there was a range of available materials such as blue card, clear camera bag and good lighting. I also had to organise the photo of the Grandmother and printed off a few of these in case we had some unsuccessful outcomes. We began filming with the white sink lining and soon realised it wasn't realistic, and so lined the sink with blue paper where it created a dark, mysterious water colour. We found it very difficult when filming because the paper seemed impossible to sink without having hands in the shot. We overcome this problem by each person allocating a role. Daisy captured the footage with the camera in a transparent, waterproof bag to ensure the camera didn't get damaged, whilst me and Nicola gradually dropped the photo and moved the leaves. Overall I feel it was successful but will need to view the outcome to identify if the footage will be used in our title sequence.
