Filming:

Filming did not go according to plan as quite a few of our extras that had agreed to help us could not make it because of the snow and the conditions on the roads.
This made things very difficult in terms of positioning things so it looked like the people who could make it were talking to other people when actually there was no one there.

We also experienced problems because hair and make up took a lot longer than expected and gahering everyone up took longer than first thought too.
By the time we had finished hair and make up and everyone who could make it had turned up it was almost 12 o:clock which lef us only half an hour to start and finish filming.
We also found it difficult because some of the extras that had come from new college had not managed to get costumes as they were asked lat minuet because of other people not being able to make it.

I then had to leave at 1 o'clock because my college christmas consert was starting and i was in it.
After one thing went wrong everything else seemed to o wrong. I was then told that we only had coffee bar bbooked until 1 o'clock but managed to extend our time until 1:30 but this put a lot of pressure on us to finish filming.

After i left I know things didn't get much better as I reveived an e-mail from Tiffany letting me know what happened.
They only managed to film half of the shots and it had to be done very quickly so we will have to try and re film at a later date which has now been agreed with our actors.

However we were extremely organised in our planning as instead of meeting at 10 o;clock at the BP garage we met at 9 and by half past 10 we were finished.
We have also slightly changed the script so that the dialogue now takes place outside when the main characters are smoking rather than inside the bar.

overall i found the hole experience quite stresful. However, we have learned that we need to set asside more time for filming as we didn't originally think that the process would take as long as it did.
We weill continuing filming and blogging after christmas 2011.
See you soon :)
