First Film Day One Fatal Moment Film making solo plus cameraman series 3
To be honest, it didn’t go as expected. We had planned it so well but unfortunately, circumstances got in the way.
Crew
Director
We only had three technical guys.
Two on camera and one on sound (My husband, son and Lee.
First assistant director (A.D.)
Continuity person
Makeup.
We have always worked with a small crew, but our cast on that first day was beyond the numbers we usually work with, making it incredibly difficult. Also, wearing masks and social distancing just added to the complexity of the situation.
So overall a crew of seven.
Morning Shoot- Ext. Woods (Fight Scene)
We had rehearsed the woods scenes in the week leading up to filming so the cast knew where they were positioned and what actions required, but there was a big “but” and this is where it became a nightmare.
We had a young man who was taking a small but pivotal role in the film, so it was crucial he turned up, but yes, you have guessed it, there was no sign of him.
This, unfortunately, had a massive impact on the rest…
