Evaluation of location shooting (1)

Our shooting process was easy to an extent, as the location was fine, and the actors turned up. However, we came across quite a few difficulties, some which we were able to overcome, some which we couldn't. At the start, we struggled to get the mic for the sound recording kit to work. That was only minor, as we got it to work soon after.
To get the effect of night time, we closed the curtains in the bedroom/living room scenes. However this didn't give us enough light to be able to see Brett or Calum clearly, and we didn't book a lighting kit, so we had to use a reflector to try and get light on to their faces. We think this worked, as it we could tell their faces on camera. Being as Brett was a hooded figure, we struggled to get light just on his mouth, and it was almost too dark to be able to pick up on camera. Other than that, filming went quite smoothly, and now we just have to edit it.
