Today was the day of the shoot. Last night I double checked with all my actors about times, locations and what they needed to bring. I also prepared the costumes and the blood stained sheet.
Jolie and Jake were the first to arrive at my house at 11:00, I talked them both through what was going to happen throughout the day until my crew arrived. We went to the location of the hotel scenes and then made our way to the supermarket for our first shot.
It proved problematic finding an area with few people in the supermarket, people were unaware of filming so would often walk into shot or make a lot of noise near the camera. After we eventually got the shot we went back to the location of the hotel scenes and set up the lights and camera for the next shots. Once the other actors arrived at 12:30 we quickly got on with filming the scenes. The scenes in the hotel room took the longest to film. I decided to film all of John's lines before I filmed Farah's as it would be quicker and would allow for less camera and light adjusting.
The shooting schedule was precise as we finished each scene in the time predicted. We finished the shoot at 5.30.
Overall I think today went really well, everyone worked great together and put a lot of effort in. I very pleased with the outcomes of today.
