Transportation for today
Our own two feet were our mode of transport today! The equipment was of course drove to Daniel's house as stated from the last shooting day it is simply just too much to carry and too awkward!
Before I progress, if you haven't noticed in the cast listing there's a change in male actors. We decided with reluctance to change actors, this is because of a lot of reasons but the main one being that they are too young to be staying with us everyday after school until after 9 on the evening so in consideration we changed the main male character.
Okay so with that being said we started our second but realistically first shooting day with the new actor on set. While Deanna did Rebecca's make-up Alex changed into his costume and Cameron and Daniel set up the set and camera, while I cleaned the location of anything that would be moved in Dan's house from day to day so as not to create any continuity errors while filming.
After helping Alex through what we wanted him to do for our shots we were ready to go, because we were redoing shots 16-24 Rebecca already knew what she was doing so it was easy to redo her shots our main problem was still the lighting though which LED's couldnt fix without distorting the colour of the set, after a little playing around with the exposure we managed to sort our lighting problem at least, it took a bit more time to get Alex into the swing of things and remembering his lines but Dan helped him through this first day and we eventually got there in the end. On a bad note though, Alex is also a full time student meaning filming will have to be done after 4 everyday until late and we can see ourselves having to book in some weekend time with the equipment to do some weekend filming later on.
