During this week i got all of my training shots out of the way and done with.
On certain days when lessons were taking place i also filmed the participants with their permission, just to use as extra footage incase i decided to change anything during the edit. This worked out in my favour i believe because where there's a specific part on the scrip that mentions "and bugles calling for them from sad shires"in the literary translation of the poem; it means English counties and countryside from which so many of the soldiers came, and where i have a shot of all of the members of the class including Grant jogging i felt that this shot would better suit the original intention i had for it, even though they were the same idea, however on the script originally i had grant on his own, where as now i had him jogging with his fellow gym members!
Here's some shots from my shoot throughout the week:
"Only the stuttering riffles rapid rattle" shot
"What passing bells for those who die as cattle" shot
With the bag enacting out war ammunition fire / or eve cattle leaving the shed of a farm
one of the "only the monsterous anger of the guns" shots.
With this shot i dirty framed off of the boxing bag to watch Grant from a distance as an establishing shot
With this shot i rack focused while dirty framing off of the boxing bag to focus in on Grant training, using the continuity editing technique
With these two shots i rack focused as the ball went from grant to his trainer Verron
With this shot i tried to get Verrons point of view of Grant throwing the ball towards him
