Shooting - Day 2

Shooting - Day 2

We shot the second lot of footage for our video on 21st December. We were shooting 2 key scenes in our video - the scene where Olivia-Mae finds the letter and the party/gathering scene where we see Ruth flirting with Jenny. Unfortunately Anica could not join us on the day, but we still managed to get everything done fairly smoothly.

The day was quite long, with us arriving at about 9AM and not leaving until about 4PM. For this reason we brought several snacks and drinks to keep us going throughout the day, taking breaks when we needed them. We were all exhausted when we first arrived due to the early hour (especially during the holidays) but quickly got into the process, setting up and preparing for the day. We filmed the scenes with just Coral and Crystal in the morning, stopping at midday for lunch. Our extras began to arrive around then and after a quick pizza lunch we were ready to shoot. One of our extras dropped out at the last minute, but fortunately the friend whose house we were borrowing was willing to be in the video. The extras all got along really well, both with us and each other, and the filming was remarkably smooth. The only problem we encountered was a broken guitar string which looked bad in the shot, but we just removed the string and carried on filming.

Overall, the day passed smoothly, with us shooting everything we needed to despite having to work with a larger group of people. The extras were all very helpful and listened to us well, which definitely contributed to the successful shoot we had. All in all, it was a very good and productive day.
