The first 30-40 minutes were spent trying to get the sound right as there was a constant static sound being heard, which we never could determine the reason why but it wasn't prominent enough to affect the films' audio.
The rest of the interior scenes were filmed, shots 10 - 11.1 were done in a short amount of time which was a great start.
I hadn't found a location for shot 12 - 12.1 so we walked down a path immediately in front of us and found a perfect location:
After that we went to the location to shoot shots 13 - 14.1 but unfortunately the path wasn't that long and the trees broke away as you walk through so I chose to film in a different location:
 |
| Original location. |
 |
| New location. |
A location we would go to last as it was further away than the rest of the locations.
So instead we went to film shots 15 - 18.1:
 |
| Shot 15 |
 |
| Shot 16 |
This arguably took the longest to do as the area turned out to be busier than originally thought, several cars passed by at various times: ruining the shot and at one point a car parked in a spot we had just filmed in, so we had to re-do that shot (no. 15) to avoid a continuity error.
This was also the area where one of the trickiest scenes was to be filmed: shot 18 - 18.1.
It was tricky because shot 18 is a continuous one, starting from the location of shot 16.1 (which became an individual shot on its own) and going down the path and up a flight of stairs before the camera moves around the protagonist and finally panning with them as they walk off.
Amazingly we did it in only 3 takes, which I was hugely impressed by.
We then headed to the final location before we would break for lunch and return to do shot 13. The park location where the meeting takes place (Shots 19 - 23.3):
 |
| Shot 23 - 23.3. |
The meeting itself was done in a continuous shot too and technically was the hardest to do as it required the most takes (5-6 which I still find impressive).
The problem we faced with this though was that just before we were about to shoot it, several people turned up to the park. But we chose to continue anyway as we could not anticipate how long they might have been there for.
After lunch we filmed the final shot needed which went without a hitch.
Overall I was very pleased with how the day turned out.
What went well:
- The weather held out perfectly: no wind, no rain, and some decent light.
- There were no real issues in filming any of the scenes.
What didn't go well:
- Had to change a location which turned out to be better than my original one.
- The first 30 - 40 minutes were lost due to working out the sound issues.
