Filming

The first day of filming, which was on Friday 22nd of Feb at the church office was with my friend David Butler whom arrangements were difficult, because we had such short time to film. This was including him going home to dress in formal clothes and come back and meet me. So in order to keep time, I asked him to stay in what he was wearing which was casual, so it wasn't too unusual for the part he was playing; just a more casual office.
The location was easy to access as we were shown to a suitable room, quiet, well lit and with all the props that were needed.
David's acting was good which benefitted us both time-wise, because it meant less excess film.
No-one disturbed us either so on the whole, it was very easy, and it seemed it especially after the stress of finding people to act...phew!

The second day of filming was at No Man's Lane in Stanton By Dale wioth my friends Ian Maweu and Jo Ingram.
Filming was difficult, partly because I had to direct two people, one of which (Ian) was outside the car whilst I was filming Jo inside, so I had to signal a 'thums up' to Ian in order to walk up along side the car, whilst holding the camera in one hand. (because there was no room for the tripod in the footweld and also hand held was a good effect.) However had it not been that my friends were good at acting, I wouldv't had lots more shots to make.
Apart from this, the easiest part was film the establishing shot of the car and the conversation with David. Jo's acting was good because it matched the same tone of David in the call centre which kept the plot running smoothly.
Neither was there any rain to bother us, just a full clouded sky which was appropriate for the theme of a murder.
I am thankfull for my friends, Jo Ingram, Ian Maweu and David Butler for making the effort they did, or else I would have had many more shots to take. Any shots that weren't good were actually very funny so moral was high, which is why it succeeded, so thank you to my actors.
