STORYTELLING UNIT: FINISHED SCENE 2

Today I had my first shoot for my script. Overall I feel it went really well considering we had a lot of last minute changes. Oliver and Jemma arrived on time and we started with Oliver and Jason's dialogue. We organised for Zak to play Jason since this is a very brief character and only requires 3 lines of dialogue. We worked through the dialogue of the characters at a good pace and working well and safely on the location.

We tried to work as quickly as possible since the weather was turning bad quicker and quicker as the shoot went on. We had a few issues, mostly with reflection from the windows during the opening of the door for Jason's entrance. The reflection of the crew could be seen no matter where we moved in the garden since it was such a small space, we managed to get just out of shot by going to the side of the door and making the shot a medium shot and recorded his dialogue again to have to cut to in the edit.





















As well as this we found a slight issue. The parking space in front of the house had been taken up by a neighbour's car and we had no way of knowing who's car it was and from the photos below, you can clearly see that there wasn't another place in front of the house where we could park the car to use during the scene. 

What we decided was to park the car about 20ft away from the house since there was a parking space up there and we made both actors walk there and did a handheld walking sequence which we can cut between in post production.

Other than these small issues the shoot went without anymore issues. We worked well through the shots and with the issues that did arise we worked through them and solved them quickly and professionally and on location we worked professionally and with good team work.
