We faced quite a few challenges along the way, but today everything seemed to fall into place. We got access to an office that we could use the next day, and were also allowed in the same tute room for a few hours in the morning to finish off the "classroom" scenes. We reshot some scenes because when replaying our material from our first shooting day, we realized that some of the shots were out of focus or did not apply the rule of thirds.
Other problems we needed to consider:
- What time does the clock show? We tried to not have the clock in the shots we did when the time was "wrong"
- We needed to cover or take off any Griffith Uni signs that were visible in the frame
- When setting up the classroom scenes again, we needed to make sure that everything was at the same spot, so that the postproduction team could cut together different shots
While we were shooting we had some more ideas for some scenes, thus changing the script or shooting list along the way. This allowed us to be a bit creative and also make some scenes easier. We cut out a few shots as well, as we realized that they were unnecessary. For example, the scene were two school boys talk about a former petition in order to chose a school mascot, we first thought about leaving the scene out, but then decided to still shoot it in 'interview style', but left out the posters, as it would be unrealistic that they have them at that moment.
All in all, it was a long and successful day. We all were very happy with our main actor who played Hank - he was very concentrated and quickly found his way into the role.
