We began the shoot day by all meeting in the studio at around 8.30 to setr up the equipment and lights. The cast then went to change into their costumes. I then did their makeup and hair. We as a group discussed Laura's makeup because we were unsure about what kind of effect we wanted on her eyes but agreed a simple smokey eye would be best with red lipstick and volumised hair. Whilst we were organising where the band should stand for their first shot and making sure the lighting was clear on the monitor the song played in the background for about 15 minutes so the band members could check they knew their words and chords.

At around 9.30 we began shooting with a wideshot of the band. Soon after roling the camera we spotted that the lighting on the faces of the band members was slightly shadowed, which would make no sense when we have the scrapyard shots on the green screen. To overcome this problem we decided to use lighting strobes to give the illusion of daylight. We carried on shooting till we broke for lunch at 1. Over lunch we discussed possible shots we could include for extra diversity.
(A shot list of all the shots that went wrong and well).
During the last half of our shoot day we were moving different parts of our set around and shooting from different angles etc to get some more interesting shots. At one point I noticed that there was a spider crawling across the camera in the middle of a shot! Over the course of the day Teodora was filming shots, Nina was writing a account of each shot and I was in charge of taking photos and playback. I was really happy with the way we came together as a group and how our cast members looked on camera. I think it was a great sucess and I'm looking forward to shooting in the scrapyard in a coouple of weeks time!!
