Alice- Shoot 4: Car Park

This scene was in two halves, the interior car park and the exterior car park. The first of these was Alice's vantage point for taking photos for her job and the second was the section which she is taking photos of.
The first of these was done really well and thoroughly but it did seem to be a bit rushed as first we were waiting for enough dark so that the two sections matched up and then we were short on time because of when the carpark was closing, which was beyond our control. That being said like I said it was done thoroughly, the only thing was that it was not as thought out on set, which isn't necessarily a  bad thing as it meant that we had to rely on gut feeling and had very little time to potentially overthink shots or to experiment, it was refined and concise but still yielded solid results.
The second half of this shoot went much easier in the sense that we had literally all night to shoot it, we had one time constraint and that was sunlight which meant in theory we could have kept shooting up to around 6 am, luckily we didn't have to do that. There was no sound in this scene which was extremely useful because it meant that we could use the generator and set up a red head to light the three men for there close-ups. However, we didn't use this straight away so it meant we did shoot everything twice both with and without the light but this isn't a big issue as I am a big believer in over shooting to a degree for coverage. Another successful film shoot despite being pushed for time, we got everything done and to a high standard. This really is shaping up to be a very special film.
