Filming report dated 9th December 2015

Below is the schedule that I used to film on 9th December 2015

DS6+ cigarette on newspaper

For this shot, I used a fake cigarette and used matches to burn the end and create the illusion of this prop being a real cigarette being smoked. Instead of planning how each take would precisely look, I just filmed a large quantity of raw footage holding the cigarette in different positions and then choose which part I preferred. I had issues with the cigarette itself as the instructions on the packet specifically said to not burn the cigarettes. This warning proved to be reliable as I realised after setting the cigarette alight, that the cigarette was filled with some form of cotton wool. The outer part of the cigarette was made up of card which burnt much slower than the interior cotton wool. Smoke can be seen leaving the other end of the cigarette in some of the raw footage which meant that I had to hide the back end of the cigarette out of the shot.
