24.11.2010. First filming session.

Despite earlier complications, we managed to get ourselves more organised in the space we had between Friday and Wednesday, and our actors turned up, prepared. We arrived early so that we could make sure we were confident with what we were filming and could make sure we would get the best out of our actors. Permission slips were collected from our actors, as we travelled towards our chosen location, we explained to the actors what their role was in more detail.
First off, into filming, the process was quite slow, but once we got the actors more enthusiastic about their roles (with the help of Denzi, who provided a great amount of energy and basically put our instructions into physical movement) , we found that everything flowed a lot better and faster. We decided as a group to use both the HD camera and the smaller, hand-held one, in order to keep grasp of our idea of the video having a 'Documentary feel' to it (we had lost track of it getting establishing shots on the same Friday our filming didn't go ahead). We got a decent chunk of our video recorded on camera, the parts of Professor Green approaching the other territory and I'm particularly pleased with the outcome.
