Today turned out to be our first day of shooting. The weather in the afternoon was a lot better than we had anticipated, so Cian and Sach checked if a camera would be available, and we were lucky enough that a camera did indeed turn back up at half two. By then we had taken a nice set of couply pictures of Sophie and Alistair.
We had previously decided to let Alistair do the acting instead of Oscar. Alistair is a lot more comfortable speaking the lines, and is fine with doing it as long as it is not spread across the Internet.
Sophie turned out to be very photogenic, so we got some beautiful pictures. She and Alistair got along well, so they infact look very natural together. We did a few scenes of them running from my house, where we had a quick tea break, and along the Parkwood path. Then we shot a scene at the duckpond at Keynes, feeding ducks there, a scene of them fighting along the footpath and we got started on the break up scene.
Lighting will be a difficulty if it turns out that our next shooting day (Next wednesday, hopefully), will be rainy.
We were all very motivated. Everyone did their part, the actors had fun (so did we), and we were all very thrilled to finally start shooting. Overall we were on our feet for a good four hours until the sun set and it got too cold and uncomfortable for us all to continue. We believe we got quite a few good shots down!
Today left everyone much more positive about the project and the upcoming deadline. The day was exhausting but very fun, with our crew being friendly and cheerful together.
(We even got Sophie to slap Alistair, after Sach insisted for so long)
In my next post I will upload a few of the pictures I took during the shot!
