Production Day 3: Theatre Day 2/2

Today was incredibly manic.
We started off with the same problem as the day before, whereby the staff didn't know how to work the stage lights. This time they couldn't get help from the guy who did it before and so the only light we were left with had a red tinge to it. The woman couldn't work out how to change this, and ultimately it was this or nothing.
Whilst I was working with this issue I had the actors start rehearsing for the next scene and set out where I wanted the camera/lights and the action area with the crew. Although a lot of running around was involved everything turned out okay.

The second phase of the day was filming the audience and sadly we didn't have as big as an audience as expected, but it was still great of people to come along and support us.

After that time drew closer quicker to 5:00pm, and so it was a bit tight getting in the killing scene as well as a few other mandatory pick up shots. We managed to push things till 5:30pm which was when the actors needed to leave. And at the end of the day the important thing is that we got everything we needed from the theatre.
