23/05/2017 - Installation Production Diary

After Reece's idea had been picked to go forward, we started to film his first person footage in the park. The idea was to capture Jay's character as a teen so that we could edit a video that followed him growing up from home footage as a kid to him in his adult years. We were going to use this footage in the park and overlay it over the footage we would be filming in the studio. We used the camera to capture first person footage as Jay held the camera, and Reece, Jacob, Ruairi and I were the extras who played his friend's in the memories. We started by filming us walking towards the park and then eventually we played table tennis and messed about around the swings. We felt as though there wouldn't need to be any more than 30 seconds of footage cut between all those stages, considering it would've been contained as part of flickering memories in Jay's character's mind.
