On saturday we filmed the underwater sequence for the ending of the film. We filmed at Levenshume Swimming Pool, in pool 2 where we had an hours slot, from 1pm until 2pm. I used my Canon 6D, with a waterproof case. The case was difficult to use, and I could not change any of the settings, or focus, after putting my camera into it, therefore I had to pre set everything, including the focus, and then guess the distance once under the water, as it was difficult to see the screen as well. We had to sign forms to use the pool, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. They allowed us to turn the house lights on and then I added 1 redhead which I aimed directly into the pool.
This simple lighting setup looked really good on camera. I had to keep the shots dark so that it was not evident where we were filming. Beth put black cloth onto the wall of the pool as well to cover up the side of the pool which helped. The actually shooting was very difficult but I managed to get some decent footage which should be able to be cut up and integrated into the film.
