4th Filming Shoot

We started at a similar time to the previous days. Allowing the full day to complete filming.
Location: Bedroom at my Grandmas
Scene: Bridge scene, a few extra scenes we didn't get in the first shoot (or that was too dark)
We started filming at around 10am and finished around 1pm (stopping for lunch break inbetween) I was really pleased with the outcome. Below is the video to show our day.



We didn't run into any problems as it was quite a straightforward shoot, I had started early to make sure there was plenty of daylight time. Also I had made sure that the battery was charged sufficiently and whenever we took breaks (i.e. for dinner) I made sure it was on charge.

3rd Filming Shoot

3rd Shoot: Tuesday
Location: My back garden
Scene: Chorus
I got up at 7am as I had to drive back to my grandmas (previous day's filming location) as I had left the camera charger there. On the way back I picked Phoebe up at 8:30 and Nicole at 9:00. We got back to mine at 9:15 and then while I charged the camera the girls got ready.
As it was a scene outside I was aware it was cold, luckily it was sunny and not raining or snowing. Because of the coldness I wanted to minimize the amount of time the actresses had to be outside, we practiced scenes indoors before going outside so they knew what they was doing. (This can be seen in the video below). I also had them both in dressing gowns/coats so that between scenes outside they could be warm. As they was mostly kneeling we took kitchen roll out to pad the ground between the mud and their knees. We had finished filming by 1:00pm and had got all the footage we needed for these scenes.
Costume: The costume Phoebe wore (greek-style) was a piece which Phoebe's mum had handmade, and the dress Nicole wore (pink) was a lace one I owned.
