Production Diary - 19/11/14

On Wednesday 19th November we conducted our first film shoot. For this shoot we only used 1 actor, Kaitlyn who played the part of Cassandra. We decided to only shoot her individual shots as we knew that there were quite a lot of these and especially because our time is limited due to school opening hours, we didn't want to use up vital time when we had our other actors on set with scenes that only involve Cassandra.

I can drive so I went to pick up Kaitlyn from her school and brought her straight back to Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar where Hannah and Sam had begun setting up the locations and preparing what Kaitlyn will wear based on our costume guidelines.

Here is Kaitlyns finished outfit:

I personally feel as though the outfit looks really effective and I am very pleased with the outcome, it definitely fits the 1940's style uniform we have researched about and kaitlyn really brings the character to life in this way.

Whilst filming one of the scenes which is by a window we suddenly realised that it had gone dark outside by the time we came to this scene which meant we couldn't film because our trailer is set in the day as it is supposed to be during school time, for the next film shoots we will bare this in mind and film any outside shots first whilst it is still light.

Other than that one mistake the rest of shoots went very well and the Red Herring Production team and I are very happy with the results.

Here are a couple of behind the scenes photos:
