Planning Final Shoot

I was extremely nervous when planning this shoot because I was unsure whether to trust that Harrison was going to be there. I therefore had to think up backup options for lighting incase he didn't show up again. This was my main concern as I didn't want the quality of my film to suffer because Harrison didn't turn up. I made sure I messaged him a few days before and the day before to make sure he was coming and to make sure he knew how important this final shoot was to my project. 

I made a list of things I needed to bring to the shoot, as well as what I needed to bring for my team members. I did this to ensure I did not forget anything.

Final Preparation

I was shooting two scenes in one day so planning everything was crucial. For the first scene, I needed to make sure all the sheets were ironed into their folded positions so they looked neat and clean. The bed was already in the makeup storage cupboard, so on the day I would have to carry the bed down in pieces and reassemble it in the studio. I was concerned the white paint on the bed would chip or flake so I brought some white paint to patch it up if that was the case. I wanted some perfect looking white books to be placed at the end of the bed, so my father covered three evenly sized books in white paper.

I decided to shoot the final scene in the studio at my house because it is where I shot it previously and I had no problems with the space. Also my model can get to it more easily as she lives locally and I could prepare all the styling and makeup etc the day before to make it quicker and easier when the team arrived at my house. Harrison suggested shooting the final scene in the studio; however we could only book the studio until 4pm so that wouldn't have given us enough time. I felt very grateful having the option of shooting in a studio at my house because it meant that we didn't have a time limit which made the whole team much more relaxed.
