Today we filmed the car scene. It was all going really well, all the actors arrived and we had all the equipment out. And then it started torrential raining. We persevered and still filmed (as much inside the car as possible, and covered the equipment where it was possible). We did originally want to use red heads as streetlights but could no longer do this today due to the rain.
We also couldn't do production logs or production stills due to to the weather and lack of bodies willing to go out in the rain (which is understandable). We just wanted it all done quickly and well, and get warm! We made sure the actors were also warm.
We were done fairly quickly since we have done so many test shoots of the car scene before, so we knew what we wanted and could be done really fast. We looked at the footage back on Friday and most of it looks great in my opinion (the slider shot was very dark though). The lecturer wasn't very happy with the lighting and the windows of the buildings outside (and also the make up), and now that the actress hasn't turned up to the next day's shoot, and has gone incommunicado, we may have to recast.
I will update this post with screenshots of the clips, or maybe the edited scene, even though it maybe irrelevant.
