Day 2 - Filming

Day 2 got off to a slow start, but once we got going it was an easy and relaxed day of filming. We took a well deserved break once we had large amount of the filming done and just had a few conversation scenes to film at the end of the day. Over the whole weekend we didn't have any technical problems and found using the Z1'S, once again, highly effective. Some improvisation was needed and we made quick decisions to shoot some new scenes which could play an important part in the film.
This scene for example was one that wasn't in the final script but as a group decided it would help the audience understand how the main characters situation was worsening. There isn't a lot else to say about day 2, I feel we worked very well as a team over the duration of the weekend and felt our problem solving skills were excellent. We had a realistic schedule and everyone knew exactly what was expected of them. Liz was an excellent director she was always involved in every part of the filming and me and Lyndon would regularly check with her when it came to deciding the exact angle of the camera. She wasn't afraid to voice her opinions and felt having a strong character in the group was the main reason for such a successful and efficient filming weekend, one which I felt was a lot more relaxed than the last film. We had a lot of fun filming and felt as we were all friends filming it was easy to tell each other what we thought.
