Day 1

Day one of shooting is officially over, I am extremely happy of the shots I have captured today, and the simplicity of direction I was able to give Joe and Reise. They were both able to adapt to my directions and surroundings, thus enabling them to give a great performance and bring my story to life in the vision I had penned in the beginning.

I shot everything today on the Nikon 3100, 720p at 25fps, which looks incredible. One of the major problems I had today though was being ale to see the camera's LCD screen due to the sunlight, so it was difficult to tell if shadows were getting recorded by accident.

For example these shots will need to be re-shot as the camera goes extremely out of focus and shadows are clearly evident :

Overall I am very pleased with the outcome of today and will be playing around with some footage tomorrow which I will upload after the second day of shooting wraps up.
