We set out today with the intention of filming Connor walking through the park and singing at the camera. However, the weather was so unbelievably terrible that we were all frozen through and this not only affected Connor's performance, but also our ability to hold a camera! We tried for as long as possible, running through the song a couple of times but we found that between the cold and him trying to remember the lyrics without any visual prompts, the shoot was not going to go well. We decided to head back to my house, which was local, and maybe slightly change our idea to Connor sitting at home and not knowing what to do with himself now that the girl is gone. This meant we could get the lyrics up for him through an off-camera TV screen and also allow us all to thaw.
We got a few shots and hopefully a few photographs which we can use in our ancillary tasks, but overall the shoot was not really a success. In the end we decided to review the footage we had captured in the upcoming week, but also to schedule another shoot in for the following Friday as we knew what we had got today was adequate at best. Despite this, the sense of relief we had afterwards, knowing we had some footage, was beautiful.
