For the hopefully, final shoot we planned to shoot the opening scene and part of the end scene with the female actor. Setting off at around 2pm we got to Selby at 3 roughly and started shooting at half past. The actor (Alice's cousin) Max was great, he was open to sudden change and was patient while setting up. It was quite a productive shoot, we got most of what we wanted filmed apart from the school scene, were William is meant to be sat outside a school while there was a disco going on. This was not possible due to us being later finishing our other shoot and wanting to wait to get a better location rather than making something that isnt a school look like a school. Being camera operator I didn't particually run into any issues, apart from one at the start when after around 3/4 seconds the camera would bring up a message saying 'Movie Recording Stopped Automatically' inwhich we didn't understand but Jay searched through the options and found the route of the problem, which was easy to fix.
We made sure we got some cut aways, which weren't orignally planned, Jay thought (as the editor) they could be useful to fill some of the gaps, or transitions. When filming the female child actor, also Alices cousin, we did quite well, I wasn't particually happy with the lighting, it was all room lighting so it came out very orange and firey'. If possible this will require some attention in post production but it's only really about 10 seconds of footage. Overall it was a good shoot, now all the attention will be on editing with Jay and Shelton.
