First day of filming

Well today me and Amir decided to shoot our first scene of our film, we had talked about it today and we ready to do straight after school. Because me and Amir both star in this film we asked our friend Sarah if she would be the camera woman and showed her how to work it as well. When we all got there we were all confident that it was going to be a success but unfortunately me and Amir hadn't planned as thoroughly as we thought as when we got to Richmond park we were hit by problems, at first we thought Richmond park was ideal as it was local for us both, there is food shops and toilets near by and we knew the area however we forgot the fact that by going straight after school that some of the younger children from primary schools would be there. At first we were able to avoid the situation by moving further down the park where it was secluded but unfortunately children running through shots and kicking footballs at us was inevitable. Another problem was that we had limited time as at this time of year the dark nights come early at about 4 o clock which meant we had to get what needed to be done quick, but we found sorting parts of the scenes out to longer than excepted which meant our first shot was in broad day light and the next was in darkness which ruined the continuity. Another issue was a misunderstanding between myself and Amir as we both thought we understood what each other meant when we discussed what we were doing but when it came to setting the scene out we were both confused and found difficulty in explaining things to each other.
Even though we managed to get some shots me and Amir decided to call it a day when it became pitch black and discussed about what needed to be done, we both decided that we would take what we learnt today and meet up on Saturday at either mine or his house and sit down and make sure we 100% know whats going on. We also decided that we are going to take the whole scene again just to ensure that the whole scene is perfect with the elements of continuity and the 180 degree rule is in place.
