Test footage for night time scenes

Me and Sophie realised that to get an effective use of the hulahoop in the scene and make it pass as a fairy, or other supernatural beings, we would have to shoot it in the dark. However, this is a problem as the cast live sightly outside of town, and so can't shoot in the dark due to train times.

We decided to have a go at taking footage from the daytime and adding color correction filters in Final Cut. We made the main color blue and slightly lowered the brightness levels. Hopefully this will be more effective in a camping environment. Plus, towards the end of the filming tonight, it should start to get dark (as we will stay until 6.20)

This morning we have already found a location (the woods behind my house. This is effective because I know it'll be possible to set up a bonfire as there isn't any trouble with the public). I will take the cameras out of school on Monday, when Cambridge Fire Troupe practice. I will then get footage of each of them with fire (with permission of course)

Our cast is:
Sophie, as Character 1
Alison, As the girl
Adam, as Character 2
Charna (me) and fire troupe as performers.
Kirk, as Character 3
