WEEK 9 - UP THE RANKS
Today we filmed the biggest scene in the film, the sincil bank scene. The shoot got off to a slow start as one of our extras needed picking up as he couldn't make it to the stadium due to travel issues. This pushed back shooting for about two hours and meant we needed to speed up production. We also had the problem of not being able to book out any Steadicam gear, this meant I had to do everything handheld and make it look as smooth as possible which was extremely hard.
While waiting the crew set up all of the equipment and our director Jordan started to go over scenes with the actors so that they knew what they were doing straight away.
Once all of our actors arrived we started to film and surprisingly managed to get the first few scenes done seamlessly. However, some scenes took longer to do as they were very technical and we wanted them to look as professional as possible.
We managed to film everything we needed at the ground so was a successful day of filming. Completing this scene meant we only had two scenes to complete plus the rescheduling of the tower bar scene.
