So, the day of filming came upon us, and we did manage! It was a seemingly endless day, though. I awoke at 6am, arrived in Frankston at 9am, we began shooting at 10.30. We grouped scenes together so that we wouldn't have to do too much moving around or costume changes. Our actors were so sublime - the whole day ran relatively smooth, with barely a hiccup. I think this is in part, planning, and some excellent timetables written up by Verity and Kieran. I also think that it was due in part to actors who were quick to comply with us, and due in part to the whole team who all worked together really well.
My aim for the day was to get as much coverage as possible, and make decisions quickly so that there was no dawdling. I feel we achieved this as a team, and I am so happy it is now all 'in the can'.
The thought of post-production is incredibly daunting, especially as viewing what we actually filmed will be nerve-wracking. However, this is exactly why I wanted to cover as much as we could, so that out of, say, 5 takes, we would at least have one good one!
And so it begins...
