Production - First shoot (Friday 1st March)

On the Friday, two of our actors (Natasha and Charlie) informed us that they couldn't make it. This put a real spanner in the works as it meant that we had lost two of our main characters. Due to this, we had to think of something soon and decided that Amy and her friend Michael would play the couple instead.

So we all stayed after school on the friday to get everything done. We had the gazebo, the fairy lights, the costumes and everything seemed as though nothing could go wrong. But it did... It took way longer than we thought it would to set up the gazebo and fairy lights and by the time we got it all done it was almost time for us to evacuate. To make matters worse, when we turned all of the fairy lights on, only half of them worked. This was a mistake on our part as we should have checked that they all worked before hand to ensure that something like that would not happen.

At the end of the evening, we decided to reschedule as everyone was in a bad mood and just wanted to get home. The shoot was a bit of a failure but we have learnt from our mistakes and will try again.
