Day One: Disaster
Started filming promptly in Soho at 8.00am on a cold, wet and windy Monday morning. All seemed to be going well, had the majority of the shots done and making some good progress. Until we sat down for our final shot of the day in a local Soho cafe. It was here we had time to film and take shelter from the cold, with the rare opportunity of a rest we decided to review some of the shots on the hand held camera. This is where the disaster part comes in. The tape was BLANK! Nothing, nada, to show for our hard work and efforts. Heads went down and we were suddenly disheartened. With a few minutes to mull over what had happened we found some positives from the day. We had made a valuable lesson already! And we could use the day as a sort of dress rehearsal. It ment that we would have to film the shots again on another day, but were confident that by that time we would have had some more practice, and the shots would be better than before. So a big disappointment but we managed to take some positives from the negative outcome.
