Shooting in Patsull Park

We needed a separate location for the parts outside which were separate to the dream. We live near a park and decided that we could use the location. I brought my dog (Prince) along, probably not the wisest decisions ever. After I had established to Prince that the tripod was not a chew toy we set up the shot of Zoe on the bench.

We positioned the tripod and started the camera, Zoe got into position and sat on the bench with the cheese and Piriton (allergy) tablets. I then moved the camera behind zoe and made it seem as though she was looking at the box and the all important point of "May Cause Drowsiness" We then did the shot of Zoe eating the cheese, and as our earlier research shows its known to cause strange dreams which is why it is important within our video although not vital.

I did the shot of Zoe on the bench in normal clothes like i did in west park as i knew the movement and have the steadiest hands. While she was still lying down on the bench we shot her 'wake up' scene where she is flapping about trying to attack the dream creature. this is when me and paul walk into shot. We used the tripod to set up shot and shouted action while out of shot to be able to distinguish where the scene begins when editing... another dilemma prince also wanted to be in the shot and kept walking into shot with us. To solve this I sent him chasing some birds (which he would never catch) to give us enough time to shoot the scene.

Finally, after around an hour and a half we finished up and when home half frozen. Another day of good filming.

Here's a short video of Prince :)
