Filming, Part 3

Today's filming went really well. We started filming around 9:40am in the morning, and we ran till 12:10pm.

We had to replace one of the actors though. The person who played Andrew was not available, so I replaced him with another Drama student. This wasn't a problem and did not interfere with anything I had shot previously, as all his scenes were individual. I simply reshot the scenes today.

For main encounter scene, I changed the location from the deck to under a tree. This was much better as there was more space to move the camera around and to direct the actors. It was brighter to film in and also probably a more realistic place for someone to have a picnic.

I cut down the number of crew this time as well- we only had 3 crew and 2 cast. This allowed each crew member to do more, and also meant it was easier for me to direct them on what to do. They have all consistently helped me in both the prior shoots so they knew what they had to do, which made things very stress-free for me.

Here's a raw video of the one of the takes of wide shot with everyone in it.

Overall, I feel that I've captured all that I needed. I am now ready to go into the editing stages.
