The second day of filming took place later on in the evening so that the dark could be used to reduce the amount of ambient light in the shots. Due to the busyness of the enclosed stairwell, the mossy set was chosen instead.
The four shots chosen were shot using both hand-held and camera rigs. The first being made to be as static as possible without using a tripod.
The initial idea for the second shot was to use the shoulder rig, follow the character around and track in 3D walls later on.
The problems this shot faced is that being on a shoulder rig it would need to either be tracked (and given the hope it would work) or stabilized then tracked. Ultimately the track did not work, so alternative methods around solving the problem were be needed.
The final shot of the day was taken when the enclosed stairwell was less busy. This shot was chosen to be implemented onto the end of the hallway shot to merge both locations.
The camera was fixed upon a tripod for this shot, and was measured from the ground so that when the conjoining shot is made in the alleyway location, it will be the correct height and both shots will work better in post.
Before finishing the days shoot, another establishing shot was chosen, and later on a 3D citadel image will be tracked into the scene as the camera pans up.
The problem with the shots were that they did not track correctly, which meant resorting to re-shooting and rotoscoping the character entirely, which meant more work, but ultimately more control.
