Filming update

Yesterday was possibly the most stressful day of my entire life.

We came across possibly all the things that could have gone wrong apart from terrible weather!

Firstly an extra said he 'didn't realise we were filming today' which was aggravating as we had clearly told everyone when we were going to be filming again, he then said he needed to be somewhere for a certain time which was about 30 minutes into our filming time.

Then we had issues with transport as one of our mains hadn't organised transport again which wasn't really ideal.

So what we decided to do, was as soon as our main arrived, we got to filming the shots that had the extra in that was so he could leave and go where he needed to go! Then we went back to Max's first shots and began filming from the beginning.

Also it was extremely sunny yesterday...and on Monday it wasn't sunny ARGGHHH!! So thats going to look slightly strange on the video!

The next hurdle we came across was that it was beginning to get dark a lot sooner than we first expected, thus meaning we had to rush filming everything to ensure that the lighting levels look similar. 

ALSO, we'd filmed a number of shots and then Ruby suddenly pointed out that Max had his sleeves rolled up and she didn't think he'd had them rolled for all of the shots. So we had to look back through the shots and figure out exactly when he'd rolled them up, and then re-film these shots.

One more thing that happened was that we filmed the final shot first as one of the extras had to leave, we had to hurry as he needed to leave, and also we couldn't do our original idea as we only had a few extras in the end due to people cancelling etc. So Ruby and I had to quickly rethink of something that fit with our initial idea, and had to film it quickly. After filming it I realised Max wasn't singing along with the song however our extra had already left and so had Amber as she had an appointment so we had no way of refilming this - I found this extremely aggravating and am disappointed that it wont fit in with the rest of the video due to no singing.

AANNNYWWWAAYY, we got all our filming done which is absolutely fantastic!! Although some parts are rushed and we had to compromise some shots - we have done it all! We now need to really get going with editing and our ancillary tasks!
