Film Blog 17 - Production Weekend

Now we've had our production weekend, and things seemed to go well. Our cast were all efficient and hardworking, and we even gained a couple of extras on the day! We filmed almost all day Thursday and Friday, and we kept Saturday penciled in as a day which we would film on if necessary. It turned out that because of lighting issues (the sunlight disappeared quicker than we expected), we did in fact have to use this day to film. We shot in the morning when the lighting was just right. Overall I think this was a successful shoot and that everyone worked really hard. I took my camera on set and captured some interesting on set moments, however unfortunately my camera is now being temperamental and won't allow me to upload the pictures to my laptop. Hopefully this will be fixed soon and I'll be able to update this blog with the photos!

The last few days Dan has spent logging and capturing the footage. He's put together a rough edit, which he and Harry will finish later on. Harry and Ed will be working on the sound. I've been finalising the release forms and permission forms for the production folder.

I've just received a call from Ed who has informed me about a problem. It seems that during some of our takes there was dust on the camera lens and this has affected the quality of the footage. It has only affected a few of the scenes, of which were only in one location and with just four cast members. We will have to re shoot these scenes, Ed has recommended Saturday the 24th March. This is because most of the cast members study Performing Arts and so are incredibly busy during the week. I have just emailed them, and hopefully this date will be ok for a re shoot.
