Today I did a few extra shots for what I needed on top of what we already had and any shoots I felt I had left out or were needed to help the narrative. Then later on that evening the last scene of the film was filmed with the main cast assembled.
We literally scavenged the Neighbourhood for firewood (which is where I had originally got the idea of the scavenge from) and may have disassembled from a dodgy chair from my kitchen.
We brought the sofas out in the garden, grilled some food and got a few beers down us, and got the guitars which are one of our pastimes in the summer-ish days we occasionally get in England, to get ourselves in the state of mind for the final scene.
I have always loved fire as lighting, and always wanted to have a scene which had fire as the lighting really brings out dominant shadowing and gives a warm light to the footage. I have always had a nostalgia to my childhood and teenage years sat around campfires so felt this needed to be attributed to the film
The shoot went well and was done within an hour, Looking back at the footage I had a ridiculous amount of shots from which I could have potentially made a film in its own with. I had a good pool of resources to make this scene work now.
All of us were pretty tired after a long week of uni work in the day and beers in the evening, which I reflected on in the narrative. We were all quite content watching the fire on full stomachs and topping ourselves with more beer
After the scene was done we cracked open a few more cans in celebration and a slightly groggy but content head the next morning.
