Production

Yesterday I went to Gelli Park to film the advert. Joby and Nathan accompanied me, along with Patrick who was on screen. It was very hot and we got tired quickly, this helped however, the brightness adding to the 'Italian' weather. There were people in the park, so we normally had to work around them but we managed well. Patrick followed instructions well, except for a few problems: even when told not to look at the camera or me during the shoot, he did so in almost every shot. His facial expression was also bland and not very expressive, but he tried his best and I thank him for it. His face worked better in some shots where the wind was actually overwhelming, such as the car shots.

The shots worked out pretty well, although the sound wasn't appropriate because Patrick wasn't shouting loud enough. I tried to record the slogan using the mic on the camera but it wasn't very good quality. I'll consult Chris Summerill to see if I can use the studio. Another hazard was that I forgot to put on suncream, so I was quite badly burnt.
