Summary of the Day:
We wanted to finish shooting the beginning of scene 2, the hallway part, where the first part of dialogue in the film appears. This sequence was a new thing for us, as the film me, Deanna and Daniel made last year for the AS course had no dialogue in it whatsoever.
It took a bit longer than expected to begin shooting, as our actors had to learn their lines and we had to set up the scene, which was awkward due to the small space and very colourful walls (this caused lighting problems).

After, we decided the shot types were effective and the acting of our cast was believable and authentic, which was very important. We were pleased with the overall outcome of the day. Charlotte took over control of the camera for shots 29 and 30, and the crew came to a common ending after resolving a small difference in opinion.
By the crew remaining in their general roles throughout most of the session, I feel that we have made some good progress and are on our way to completing the filming process for 'Behind Closed Doors'. Our crew have a somewhat effective way of working together, each of us doing separate things to achieve a common goal; the completion of the filming process and keeping on-track of the schedule.
