Started the second shoot today, got in at about 9, everyone else got in about half an hour later. I had to wait for some tape, to prepare the room, and then spent the rest of the morning putting paper on the walls and floor, the toilet paper was particularly useful. I filmed a small amount of Verity's pieces, but I needed to get the bulk of the shots out of the way that included Joby first. We had some breaks and also managed to get a few of Joby's shots done from the side and on the shoulder mount. The wall wasn't as yellow as I thought which was better. But I didn't have a lot of paper and I didn't have any people to use as extras, so I'll have to film tomorrow. I left all the paper on the floor and wall so I could film tomorrow, however, after I left, I was told that other people will be using the room from then until tomorrow, so all of the paper that was set up was binned. Now I have the challenge of finding several hundred sheets of paper, rolls if toilet roll and rolls of tape by tomorrow with no money to my name and no budget. Thankfully my girlfriend's mother has come to the rescue and lent her some money to pick up what I need tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.
Disaster. As I tried copying the files onto a spare card, I pressed the format button by accident, through pure carelessness on my part. Tomorrow will be more time consuming than I thought.
Got in today, and re-papered the wall and floor. This time I had more paper and I covered more of the wall.
We managed to get the shots that were deleted redone before 11am, which was good considering we didn't start filming until 11 the day before. This time I turned the exposure on the camera up, making things appear whiter but not too much. After a while I managed to get Verity's shots done, Joby's shots done, and the shots with both of them in done also. We were running out of time and we didn't have any extras, so I had to scrap some shots after realising that the footage I had shot would also mix with the footage from the office shoot. I would have left the paper there until Monday because the caretaker said the room was completely un-booked and that the dance class was cancelled. But I was told to either shoot more, which I couldn't, or bin it, so with the help of Joby and Patrick I cleaned away all the paper. I'm relieved that the filming is finished, and now I can do a full edit.
