Evaluation of the shoot day

Our shoot was on the Wednesday, but on the Tuesday night we started getting our set ready, we had painted most of our boards with pink hearts but had to finish the rest on the Wednesday morning.
We started at 9am and our team and our protagonists arrived on time. after finishing painting our white boards, we got on with the shooting! Scott and Carl, were setting up the lighting, whilst we got the band comfortable with the song and playing the guitar in front of the camera. As soon as the lighting was ready, we set the band up and starting filming. At first the band members were quite nervous but soon got into things. We shot the band from different angles and doing a range of close ups and wide shots. We wanted to be done in the studio by 11 o'clock, and even though things went pretty smoothly, we finished by mid-day. We packed up the cameras, and some lights and headed to my house, which was a 30 minute drive away. We had Matt and Luke with us to help with camera and lighting, and as soon as we got to my house, starting setting up. Due to our protagonist, Jack, making breakfast, we had to be be aware of the light outside, because we needed it to look like it was morning. Shooting the animation was a bit more tricky and time consuming due to us having to change the lights all the time and the camera but with the help of Matt and Luke, we did it in good time. We stopped for lunch for 20 minutes and then got straight back into filming. We finished in the kitchen by about 3.30pm and went up to the bedroom. We had to bring all the lights up stairs, and the camera's, and after we had set up, we were done within 40 minutes.
I believe the day went well! We didn't have to rush anything and we got everything we needed. Whilst filming we added in a lot of things that we didn't plan on doing but it all worked really well. Both our protagonist, Jack and Mimi, did everything we asked them do to, and also helps us out alot.
I am now looking forward to seeing the final product!
