Shooting Day ONE

We have our actors! Thanks to my friend Luis (who will be our Hank), and Jacquelin's mum (who will be our Roslyn), we have that weight off our shoulders.. Since both of their schedules need to be met, we had to postpone our other shooting days, but since we had planned in enough time that is manageable. It also gives us enough time to book the rooms, and find an office where we can shoot the scenes with Roslyn.

After some trouble of how to book the equipment in order to have it with us for an early start, we all made it on time at 8am - and the shooting began. We started with the establishing scenes and were very lucky with the weather. Blue skies, not too sunny yet and our chosen spot was in a nice, natural light. Everybody in the group contributed with ideas, props and preparation, and some snacks to keep us energized. 

We quickly discovered the importance that everybody has to stick to their defined roles, e.g. camera man, director, or audio. At the beginning we all kind of tried to do everything at once, but then found our responsibilities within the team.

Another problem turned out to be our "classroom". We were not able to book a tute room during uni hours, so we tried to find a room that was free for at least a couple of hours. Unfortunately we had to leave the room before we finished the scenes in that location, which puts more pressure on our future shooting days.
