On set.....Filming of 'TICKET'

Location booked....CHECK

Actors organised....CHECK

Schedule arranged....CHECK

Script adjusted....CHECK

Camera shots amended....CHECK

Equipment collected the day before....CHECK



Dissapointment after filming....CHECK!!!



Well today turned out to be a major learning curve for us. Maybe we were being over fussy about our work but after reviewing on computer our shots we were slightly dissapointed. Its not all doom and gloom after three hours shooting we discovered several things;



. The Surrounding Environment
Its difficult to control what is going on around you when you are not in a controlled environment. We had buses pulling up, babies crying, ambience music and even a little spanish woman with an accordian..........How do you prepare yourself for that last one? Admittedly these are things that could of been avoided with extra thought and research but we just didnt think about them until they actually became a problem for us as they are things we haven't encounted before.

. Check all equipment (THOROUGHLY)
We arrived on set to discover we had NO K6 mic.....problem? YES! Again it could of been avoided. We had put it down on our kit list but when we collected it,it wasn't there. Our fault again we should of been more thorough when collecting the kit infact i put my hands up for this one guys this was my mistake as producer.

. Shots
Well that wasn't a major issue because i think everyone encounters that and we knew there was going to be some we wouldn't like.
