Drama project- Shoot day 1

Following our schedule, we arrived at the park for 5am. This was a shock to everyone's system but thankfully we didn't experience any rain. We set up both camera's at different shits to see which we would like better when it came to edit. We left the camera's to film until about 6:30am. For some reason  both DSLR's would't let us film for more than 12 minutes at a time, so we had to keep restarting the filming. I think in total we must have had around an hour of good footage to use. Unfortunately the sun didn't rise from over the city (like we first imagined) but a clear difference in time is obvious and i think that it was worth the effort.

After we left Norfolk park, we decided we deserved a nice warm McDonald's breakfast to talk about how we thought the morning went and to check over our plans for the rest of the day.

We arranged to meet Nate (Our main actor) in the town centre at 9, which gave us quite a lot of time to spare. We first recorded some safety shots in case we would need to fill any gaps in our film then Paul and I went to get ready for the office scene. As Paul ended up having to be used as the boss in the office, he put on a suit and collected some office things as we weren't sure what the office space would have.

We arrived at the offices around 9:20 and after signing in, went straight up to the space we were thankfully allowed to use. It was perfect. It already had everything we needed to make it look like a genuine office, plus it was quiet for our sound recording. We shot all of the office scenes on the same day, as was recommended by Debbie in one of the first semester lectures.
