Production Day 2: Theatre Day 1/2

We only had two days to get everything we needed out of the theatre scenes, each day had a 9-5 schedule.

When we got there, we were met with the first problem. The lighting technician had recently retired and the staff didn't know how to operate the stage lights. They had to call someone external in to rectify this. Chris and I went up and told then how we wanted the stage lit.

We also brought the dedo and kino lights with us which we used as well but it proved hard to position because of the areas of the stage we wanted filmed.

Originally intending to get rolling at 9:30 we didn't start till an hour later. This was a problem because one of the actor needed to leave at 12:00pm for a 1:00pm start at work. Luckily we didn't keep him to long after the time he had to leave.

Aside from that the day went smoothly, and it was a shame the actress we had playing the character Zoe wasn't available on the Wednesday otherwise we could have fit in one of her scenes. I did get a chance to explore the rest of the theatre space so that I could plot where to use for tomorrows shoot.

The first day went well, and now it was the complicated scenes of Day Two left to get through.
