On filming day we were set back by delays because we spent too much time on some shots and we didn't have our setting up of the locations and making sure everything was getting done so I spent allot of my time doing it so I didn't have allot of time to explain what was happening before we were shooting because I was doing allot of running around. Apart from that it was fun and I got really good reviews from all the actors, even though were were short on time we still managed to pull it off due to quick and creative thinking and a large part from Samson who got things done. Luckily my doctor didn't find me until after the production so I did not have to leave early and we managed to keep all the actors happy, some were a little difficult to work with but I managed to swing them around. Our communication was good and we worked quickly to try to catch up, one of the problems we had was people talking instead of doing work and people receiving conflicting instructions from the ones I gave them and this caused the crew to waste allot of time setting up things we didn't need or moving things to the wrong place, I did not find out who was giving the conflicting instructions but the actors did not notice so their moral was high.
At the second location I got to take charge allot more because I didn't have to go and make sure everyone was doing their jobs, the problem we had there was our extras didn't show up until later so we didn't have allot of time to do some of our scenes so they didn't turn out as well as we would have liked so we will have to change the story a bit and we took a long time trying to figure out how we were going to shoot but not as long because we had been to the site before. The actors enjoyed themselves and Sarah was comfortable undressing, I made sure that a girl was always with her in te room so she wouldn't feel nervous and took great lengths to make sure nobody would walk in on her changing. Near the end of the night Leo was out of it because he has almost been standing up for as long as I had, the sound recorder losing battery was something that we just had to deal with, luckily we got most of the sound we needed already.
At the end of the night I couldn't feel my legs but it was worth it, my doctor got mad at me for standing up the entire day without taking a break but it was worth it because I lived up to the standards my group members had set for me, the only thing left would be forming a story with the footage we took and it was a fun and interesting experience.
