Actual filming day

The day before the shoot  day we didn't need to prepare anything because we were well prepared for a while, and it would be hard for us to prepare because we only need two actors that we already had sorted out, a log which we could find easily in the forest and then a camera and a tripod that we would collect on the day. The morning of the shoot i woke up and felt great not only was i missing lessons but i also got to go out of school for the day to do some filming. When we arrived for the shoot we were very well prepared all we had to was just to find the right place in the Forrest for each scene which took us barely 5 minutes each time. The location where we were filming was perfect, the weather was just right as well, there was some slight rain that increased as the filming went on. On the camera day Ben was mainly the camera man and Grace Ksenia and I did a bit of filming as well as long as making sure about the continuity of the shots and finding the best places for locations. Personally i thought i reminded the group about the shots that we wanted instead of getting carried away with new shots quite well. On the shoot day we dint have many major problems because as a group we get on well and respect each others decisions and roles, if there was a problem it would probably be how the weather changed so quickly for raining to being quite sunny so the end result may not look as good. i thought the most successful part of the day was getting all the shots we wanted in a quick space of time that we still had some spare time to get some new shots to see what they look like. After lunch we walked around a fair amount to find a new location which was quite annoying as it was wasting valuable filming time, but luckily we had got all the vital shots needed.When it comes to editing i am looking most forward to is the different range of shots and the great acting. I think the production group worked really well as a team. I learned the lesson that on a filming day you should turn up organized like we did.
