We faced various dilemmas in the run up to filming the shots in the forest. Our first problem was we decided it would be done on a Wednesday, but then a few of the band members said they couldn't make it. So in the lesson on Monday we made a quick decision and decided to do it later that night because that was our only other option. However, we then found out Lewis in the band couldn't make it and neither could Harry, our camera man, because of other commitments he could not get out of. Despite this we had to do it Monday and looked for a replacement for Lewis just for these shots, but we had no luck and Jess our director had to play his role. This meant our roles were changed around slightly. Joe had the role of main camera man and director, and I was in charge of sound, lighting and shot sequencing. Jess tried her best to help out as well in between filming shots.
After all the dilemmas were sorted we could begin setting up and filming, but not before we rescued Jess after breaking down! This meant we had to start later than planned but it did not affect the filming. We had large battery powered lights provided by Harry which gave us just the right amount of lighting and I had my battery powered speakers and iPod so we had sound. Jess got changed into clothes that we would expect Lewis to wear, that were provided by me (or more my brother). We soon got on with filming as it was cold, dark and quite scary so I think everyone wanted to get done quickly and leave.
Overall I think it was successful despite being 2 members down! Thankfully it was only a draft which means when it comes to the final version we'll make sure everyone is free and stick to the schedule.
Below are some images that were taken on set:
