First day of shooting

We got the Grindleford quite early and only had 2-3 hours to shoot. We managed to get a fairly good opening to our film but nowhere near the amount of footage we had intended on that day as we did not schedule properly. The shots that we got where very nice and it was clear that the location is an incredibly aesthetic place to shoot a film like this. We had found a perfect doorway that appeared to be an old entrance to a mine of some sorts and started the Grindleford section of our film from there. We then got shots of the protagonist moving through different colours of the forest and she got closer to the magical tree. We did not get a chance to shoot this tree on the day but there is plenty of time. The initial opening shots for this section of the film look very promising and hopefully we will have more time to shoot in future. I found that we also struggled a lot with the protagonist being so tall that she was hard to frame with the other character in the film being to short but we got past that in the end (this proved to be time consuming and attempting to set up shots would take a very long time) We had to get the actress back by 1pm meaning we had little time to shoot on this day but it was important that we just got something to get the ball rolling.
