We had our final shoot last Saturday, which we felt was necessary to secure the perfect one shot. Overall, the shoot went really smoothly, and we are really happy with the many takes that we managed to shoot throughout the day.
As the studio was free the day before, we made sure we sorted the lighting out prior to the shoot day, as well as any props that needed to be finalised. This saved time on Saturday morning to communicate with our stagehands and solve any last minute difficulties.
Another thing we made sure we did prior to the shoot was to mark up the position of the props, so that each take could be as close to perfect as possible, with the props aligned as they needed to be. This not only helped the stagehands with their job, but also made the process of resetting the set a lot quicker and easier.
As this was our last shoot, we wanted to do complete one-shots throughout the day rather than rehearse beforehand. Therefore, we called in stagehands who had been to one or both of the previous shoots, so that they knew roughly what their individual roles were.
We also had to make sure we kept everybody's morale up, as with the lights and consistent movement of stagehands, the studio did get quite warm and the crew did get a little tired towards the end of the shoot. We tried our best to keep everybody happy by encouraging them to have fun, and also providing them with food and water.
