The first film shoot for Popcorn was supposed to be the only shoot for Popcorn but alas this was not to be, as everything that could have gone wrong, pretty much did. Bu there were good things too.
Firstly the amount we got shot on this shoot was enough for full coverage of the advert so if some kind of disaster happened that meant we couldn't have another shoot, at least we had coverage. On top of this the extras and set dressing were fantastic so no complaints here. As well as this we got very good coverage of the main couple in the advert so this is good.
However, we also had issues, we had 4 lights (3 Red Heads and a cool light) the cool light worked fine with no problems. 1 red head was broken before we even started shooting and then halfway through a take a second red head started smoking so we had to immediately turn it off and then we had no other light to swap to. As a result of this we had to send one of the crew to get a replacement which was a big delay. Then we had a problem putting a lens onto the camera which again was another delay, all of these added up and it meant that we didn't get as much covered as we would have hoped and as such had to organise a second shoot for next week. Another issue was that for some of the shots there was an ND filter on the camera which will have substantially darkened what we shot to the point where it may be completely unusable.
That concludes my account of the first shoot, the actors and crew were fine to work with for the most part and I felt I did a good job of directing so there's not an awful lot left to say about this shoot.
