Today
I managed to complete the remaining scenes meaning I have now finished taking
pictures ready for my opening title sequence.
At
first I thought that I wasn’t going to be able to get the pictures of Jimmy
leaving, whereby he has to walk across a field, as the weather was awful. It was
hail stoning and the rain was very heavy. Luckily, this passed over and we were
fortunate to be able to complete this scene. Initially, I stated that this will
be done on Wythenshawe Park however there were a number of football matches
going on so we decided to use the field at Timperley Cricket Club. I took a
range of shots including:
- A close up of Jimmy’s feet walking
- A long shot of Jimmy walking away (his back to the camera)
- A long shot of Jimmy turning to face Maggie and Blake
- A Long shot of Maggie and Blake together as they watch Jimmy walk away

By
the time I and the characters were ready to do the scene where Jimmy sees his
mother and Blake arguing in the window the weather had brightened up so I worried
whether the sun would reflect on the window meaning I couldn’t see Maggie and
Blake in the window. Luckily, this did not happen so I was able to see them
arguing in the window clearly.
The
final scene was where Maggie (Jimmy’s mother) is comforting Jimmy after he has
been to visit his biological father’s grave. This was done in my living room. The
first two pictures I took were with the flash on however this made the images
very bright and harsh therefore I decided to turn the flash off and use the
natural lighting.

Finally,
I decided to take a picture (a long shot) of some holiday homes at Agden Brow
as I thought this shot would look good on my DVD front cover as it would show
the background of Jimmy’s life and give the audience some incline that he is a
Gypsy as they usually gravitate to these kind of areas and living spaces.
