I Give Up - Shoot #1

Last night we had our very first I Give Up shoot. It was a small scene, but it still gave us the chance to see how we will work together and what we need to improve on for the shoots to come. The scene is the very first scene that Chester pictures Connor in his mind and they get to know each other and what they are all about. We started the shoot around 5:30 and expected to be done in a couple of hours, but instead we didn't finish the shoot until 11:30. This shows that we need to improve our time management on this production so that everything gets finished on time and easily.

Yes, the shoot may have taken 4 more hours than what we expected, but that was mainly because we were working out the kinks and making sure that we knew how to properly use all of the gear. We also made sure that everything was organized, where each scene was slated and labeled properly. Alessandro didn't inform me that this particular scene was a night scene, so I had to adjust a couple of things I had in mind when we were shooting this scene. Alessandro wanted the scene to be as dark as possible, and I tried to explain to him that you can do all of that in post so that way you have a clear image, but that isn't what he wanted, so I followed his direction and did the best I could. We will make it work, and I can't wait for the next shoot.
