These scenes were the therapy dog scene ( when our protagonist Daisy is in her final few months and her last dream is to have her own pet, although due to her situation is not possible). This scene involved us using two dogs, this took more time than we anticipated as we had to work with the dogs to get the perfect angles and shots. We used a special therapy dog lead to drop a subtle hint to the audience that Daisy is not well.
We used a variety of different shot types that show Daisy petting and playing with the dogs, yet not showing her face as we did not want her condition to be the main focus until the end.
Next we filmed the 'Make up' scene, this scene is capturing Daisy's dream of making friends all over the world by posting online make up tutorials. This is the modern version of having a pen friend. Here we used a over the shoulder shot, this keeps Daisy's face hidden but clearly shows her filming herself doing her make up.
Next for one of the still pages in our scrapbook we wanted to take lots of stills of Daisy collecting and using her make up, then when we put them together it looks like it is moving.
Excellent progress with your filming. You explain the specific types of shot that will conceal form the audience Daisy's true condition as you are preserving the secret to create the 'twist' at the end which will be the climax to the short film. I love the visuals here: good use of what blogs can do.
