The weekend just gone was my turn you use the camera to film all the shots for my trailer and what happens the evening before shooting? An actor tell me he has 'made other plans'! This is when I begin to panic luckily I managed to find someone tell thanks to the actress who went around her school asking EVERYONE! Then the second problem occured the actor was only free on Saturday after 4.00pm - which I thought ok thats not too bad i'm sure I'll have enough time before the sun goes down. Saturday arrives, I decided I can quickly pop to town with my mum and sister before filming and will have plenty of time to get back and get ready for filming. Nope! My sister dissappears and doesn't reply to texts or calls so I don't find her until 4.00pm.
After racing back to drop her home and pick up my actor and actress; the actor is running late so I don't get to start filming until 5.30pm.
I managed to be a complete plonker and forget my script and storyboard in the stress and rushing too which meant I had to go with the flow and try come up with shot ideas. I decided to get the boy and girl to act but i wasn't going to use their voice and was going to explain the trailer and mood through text and music. After managing to get all the filming I needed with the two people i went home for a well deserved glass of wine!
Once at the studios to edit my trailer I realised that one shot which is 'the kiss' is so dark and grainy, I forgot to do any close ups and I hadn't thought about any music ideas. To be honest you only learn from your mistakes but I hope I don't have anymore to learn from!
