Shoot Day Reflection

We shot our thriller a number of days ago. Even through the experience overall was positive our group had to overcome a number of obstacles throughout the day. At the beginning of the day we gathered in front of our educational facility and together with one of producers and our actors travelled to our shooting location after packing the appropriate equipment for the shoot. After a short amount of time we realized that we do not have a lot of time to shoot our scenes, so we picked up the pace when preparing different types of shots. At first our group was able to capture a number of fantastic shots through the use of a slider and a tripod. Eventually our third actor, which was unable to come in the morning, came to our shoot. The first issue that appeared during that time was our third actor could spare us only 30 minutes. We tackled this problem in a way by capturing only two noteworthy shots and than taking a wide and mid shot of the whole scene outside. Later on we continued to film inside the house and from that point on everything went well until lunchtime. At this point in our shoot we realized we will need more time to capture the entire footage necessary but our location owner allowed us to stay at his house only until lunchtime. Thankfully after speaking with the owner of the house we were allowed to come back after lunch and finish our shoot, which is exactly what we did.  Overall the shoot was a success with a minor amount of incidences throughout the day that our group was able to tackle anyways.
