First day of shooting was a bit off a mess, both in planning and execution. First and foremost I didnt have enough battery for the day so it was only a half day shoot however at the rate we were filming we didnt really lose much time. Our first location had a time restraint that had us working through 11 and travelling to the second location and filming at 12 however I already didnt want to shoot at 12 because of lighting. However we did get it done rushed in time. The other issue was that my storyboards didnt quite match the location, we adapted them to work however the lighting plan for the whole shoot went straight out the window. I thought we would be able to use reflectors when the sun was out to add white outlines and gold glints to everything however there wasn't enough sun for them to work. My fallback was Sony hand lights but they couldnt really be noticed in the sun.
My other problems were that not everyone was on the page with what we were shooting an that we didnt have a shot for shot schedule. This meant we didnt know when we were too slow until it was too late as with the house (the first location). However it was the lack of knowledge of the shotlist that slowed everything down, having to describe over and over what the shot was slowed down setup and made the whole day difficult.
I took advantage of the early day by meeting with Dan and Alex (Sound and Director) and going shot bu shot through the next day planning how long each shot would take and exactly what happened in the shot as to make the next days shoot smoother. Heres what we came up with:
