Today when we all woke up for our first day of filming we all heard thunder and lots of rain. We decided to postpone the shoot for a few minutes and just film what we can do today as we would not be able to go according to plan due to the bad weather.
I arrived at the RDA at 8.15am. Nobody, but Jasamine, one of the instructors of the RDA was there in the morning.
Rest of Team arrived 1 hour after that. Present were: Jason and Aim. Clients and volunteers arrived at about 8.45am to about 9 am.
Cameras were set up a little late due to experimentation of equipment when session was going on. The session was a stable management session instead of a riding session due to the unpredictable weather.
As for schedule, I felt that we were not really on schedule, first due to the bad weather and not being familier with equipments as well as set up of equipment
Working with the volunteers and riders - We were able to get shots of some of the riders grooming up the horses, stratching and riding. Since I wanted it to go as smoothly without interupting the session, I just let them do what they do. We were able to capture the riders ride the horses, mounting the horse was not able to capture well as we needed time for equipment to set up. Not so sure if those shots can be used. The grooming session to me felt like a home video instead of what I envisioned. This could be due to not knowing what to shoot and also with the amount of people at that area, it was a little hard to get something special out of it. According to the team, they said that they would be able to do something with those grooming clips. Took some scenery shots as well.
Interview sessions - Interview sessions went well. We were able to interview Jasamine and about 5 student volunteers. We were able to get the answers we wanted with the students and I would love to use them in the video as I think it would connect with pontential student volunteers. Interview with Jasamine went well execept that, I am not so sure if the passing of the vans made any disturbance with the sound of her answering the question. Were not able to ask for interview with other volunteers due to time of setting up of equipments and them needing to go off early.
We only got a clip of horse because fly mask looked very amusing. Nothing much to report
Most of the footage shot were for the back of the script.
What could be done better would be if team can come earlier to set up equipment and be more familierized with it so that we can get moving faster.
Concern - After recording interview with students, one of them (HCJC guy) says he is contracted with Mediacorp when I was passing around the telent release form. What is the procedure to clear him? What I did anyway was to get him to sign the form because he has recorded the interview already. Should I just leave it as that?
What we are gonna do next weekend is to do more interviews with the other volunteers and get them to tack up horse from scretch for filming purposes. We would need to get Zul's (Stable manager) permission to allow horse to gallop for video. Jasamine also suggest we use another client, forgot her name for video instead because can see difference after session. Also at the same time, just inform her on what we need for next filming session.
Would be going to RDA on Monday, can get things sorted for next shoot by then.
