Yesterday I filmed the footage I needed for my first two minutes of my film.
What went well:
- Got what I needed done.
- Weather was pretty much perfect and there was no wind to affect the audio.
What didn't go well:
- I had to use a friend to play the role of Luke, unfortunately he isn't great at acting.
- I had to cast myself as Nick, I'm also not an actor.
- My cameraman had never filmed like this before so a couple shots were shaky.
What I have learned:
- Organise better. I feel I may have left it a little late to 'recruit' people.
- Have a back-up plan. I did have someone else playing the role of Luke but they had to cancel due to a chest infection.
- Do a production sheet. I'm not a great fan of them as I like to improvise the majority of my camera-angles on the spot but even so. I should prepare better.
Final thoughts:
- My plan is to do a re-shoot in a couple days time with a new cast and a production sheet/storyboard ready.
