WELL!
Today I finished shooting my last ever shoot as a student!
My shoot went so so well, better than expected. I believe there are two main reasons as to why the shoot ran so smoothly and effectively; 1. Maddie and Hennie and Cat. 2. working with professional actors that we didnt know.
The cast were fab, although working with the two children on sunday was an experience! They were great but children can be hard work at times! But Sharon and Colin we brilliant, as were Amy and Kai. They were all so professional and we hardly ever had any line mess ups. And the fact that we didnt know them really helped, for example when we work with friends/family/people we know, we can become slow and distracted, but wanting to appear professional this didnt happnen. And this is something that I will discuss further in my report.
Cat was her usual camera-wiz self so we also avoided camera f*** ups and between Maddie and Hennie, sound was taken control of and perfected.
I made sure I arrived on location every morning around an hour before everyone else so that production design and lighting was in place and I was ready to get everyone blocking out and into character (after a cuppa of course)
I had forgotten how much I love being on a production and part of a crew, even more so because I didn't have to take hold of my dreaded enemy- the camera! I was able to concentrate on my story and the direction of it.
I feel like I did sometimes struggle to give direction to Colin and Sharon because I am so young and inexperienced compared to them but I feel like I coped pretty well at most times. And Cat aided me along the way!
There were a couple of moments for me that were really well, nice. It was nice seeing the action played out that I wrote and planned over the past few months, it was a great feeling!
Now its time to put it all together with Dyl, so excited to see it all on screen!
