TEST SHOOT

Yesturday we had the test shoot, and i was really happy with how it went. We went to Danni's house to shoot and did 8 hours in total, from 10am - 6pm. The first 4 hours it was just me, Danni and Tom. We set up our location (which took longer than expected, because in order to block out all the light coming into the shed we had to tape black towels to the outside of the windows), we played around with different fake blood recipes, we completed our storyboard and shooting script, filmed the first scene that we didn't need actors for and just about had time left for lunch.
Once the actors had arrived they got into costume, and we did their make up. Throughout the shoot we all had a go at doing everything; directing, sound technition, and production assistant, as we felt this was the fairest way to do it, and it was the most fun because it meant we weren't doing the same thing all day.
I was so impressed with the actors we used, and think that they were a really good choice. I am really looking forward to seeing the footage, and finding out what we need to change to make our sequence even more amazing!
