'Feel'....the shoot

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZING........It was a little chilly to say the least!

This was my first shot at directing and and pre edit I'm pretty pleased with the way the shoot went. Unfortunately we had to drop two scenes due to a lack of time but the script was written in a way that I knew prior to filming if we were to have any hold ups these two scenes could be cut without causing any problems to the end product. We got off to a steady start but an hour into the shoot and we were flying. Everything was running like clock work and I didn't really want to stop for lunch but a combination of having to feed the actors and a low battery forced the break at 1.30. By 2.10pm we were rolling again but the day was beginning to draw in and the decision to remove two scenes had to be done. Unfortunately another half an hour battery charge was necessary and cutbacks had to be made to give us as much time as possible. We unprofessionally had to drop the clapper board for the last scene but removing the board freed up another person to help with clearing up and allowed us to beat the rush of nightfall and the actors finish time. The whole group worked really well together on the day and showed a great team effort which really pleased me.

Over to the edit.......
