Overall, I"m pretty happy with how things went on set. They crew as whole were really good and pulled their weight. We managed to get a lot done in four intense days of filming and having looked at some of the rushes, it looks pretty good.
The rest of the crew were feeling better about things as well. I know that a couple of people were feeling a bit disheartened after we finished putting the set together and were worried that the film would look good. However, I think because we did have control over everything, the lighting has been done really well so from the shots that we've seen, it looks pretty good.
If there was anything that I'd change or have differently, I think the thing I found most challenging was the change in shooting order that happened on the day. When Ben first sent me the shot lists, he'd put the shots in the order that he wanted to shoot them in and so when scheduling I kept to this. However, when on set, he changed his mind quite a lot which meant a lot of re-jigging of the schedule during the day. It was fine because I kept on top of things, but I think that Ben B and Henry got quite confused at times, so I would have prefered it if this could have been avoided.
The actors also were better than we had expected. especially considering that they didn't have a lot experience. One particular surprise was that during one scene Michael breaks down and cries. We had brought in some make up in case we needed to make him look like he had been crying, however, Nathan fully broke down. It was really intense to watch but also really impressive.
