Everyone on the team was expecting the second day of shooting to be a lot less stressful than the first, and in a lot of ways we were right. Almost all of the scenes that we had to shoot on the Sunday were set in Lydias house which meant that we were out of the rain. There were however, a couple of exteriors of houses that we needed for continuity, as well as one scene which was shoot on a street very near both mine and Lydias houses.
Though the shoot was easier on Sunday it was also a lot longer, we started at about 11am and finished shooting a party scene at about 9.30pm. One of the main challenges of the day was filming In Lydias room, mainly because almost all of the crew had to fit behind the camera in order to not be seen in the shot, and as this room was where we did most of our shooting there were several times where a crew members foot or hand would be in shot and we'd have to do it again. But after a while we got used to the situation and perfected the art of hiding from the camera and being silent.
Probably the most enjoyable part of the final day of shooting was the fact that the final scenes we shot were set in a party, so we had to bring in our friends as extras and provide them with music and drinks in order to get the atmosphere we needed for the scenes. Though we used far more takes to film these scenes as there were more people to keep track of, they turned out looking pretty convincing and it meant that filming ended on a very positive note.
Lydia and Alex are now in charge of the edit, but hopefully everyone will have an opportunity to get involved, luckily everyone has a similar idea of what the film will look like post-production so the editing process shouldn't be too stressful.
