Today, my partner and I filmed the "dog scene". This was very important as is a key indicator to the audience that Daisy-May is very unwell. We used a charities dog called "PAT Dog", which is a charity which has professionally trained dogs which work in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices in order to provide a companionship to people who are unable to have dogs of their own. The idea behind this scene is that Daisy longs for a companion and dog, showing her wishes and dreams get less extreme and adventurous the more ill she gets.
We managed to shoot some very convincing and professional scenes, and overall we were happy with the way the scene turned out. Some problems we came across were making the dogs obey to orders and commands and getting both Daisy and the dogs to come across as though they have a close bond, underpinning a heart-warming moment. We also made sure the dogs leads with the charities name and logo were displaced well for the audience to clearly see and notice.
I have also used a new technology called Boomerang which takes burts of pictures and makes a short video. I have taken one of the dog we used on the set.
Excellent: you have shown a high level of care in sourcing authentic props (the PAT charity dogs)and you acknowledge the challenges of the shoot.I have seen your Boomerang video in class, although as I write now, it has disappeared. Try uploading it again.
