Filming day 2

Today, we filmed the majority of the film and it was fast and effective. We arrived at the House Cafe around 4:00 to set up the place for the appropriate Mise-en-scene (we found that the place had several items, such as the radio, that fit really nicely) and the actors arrived at 4:30. We then went through the storyboard and carried out the filming. Max made sure furniture and the set was arranged well and directed the scenes, Matthew (the cinematographer) made sure it was all framed well and I set up the lights and camera equipment.

The actors were really easy to work with and enthusiastic about the piece and it was really relieving that this was the case. We filmed at the House Cafe for about half an hour, then we went with Jon to Elm hill, where we found that the location we had picked was too dark to film in so we chose another location, just across from the place we wanted to film initially. We then filmed for around 20 minutes and then we went home.

Apart from the location issue, we didn't face any problems and everything went as planned. The footage all looks good and we won't have to refilm anything from those scenes.

We are refilming the office scene tomorrow and we will be editing Friday for a rough idea of how the whole thing looks and what we will have left to do.
