Finding Rosamund- pick-up shots

Some of the shots from the beach shoot needed to be retaken due to people in the background and some shots not being what the crew wanted. Therefore we headed back to the beach and took these shots again, although this time a different part of the beach was chosen as it was larger and more open. Unfortunately we did encounter some complications during the shoot including
  • a bolt from the camera stand went missing- luckily it was found but it did cause delay
  • The rucksack used in the previous shoot was forgotten- luckily Kirsty (director) had a spare, but it did mean that all of the shots involving the prop had to be retaken.
  • There were still dogs and people in the background which the camera operator had to avoid.
 My character (Rosamund) wasn't actually in many of the shots that were retaken, so I could just watch how it was done from the crews perspective which was interesting. I could see through the camera and understand the problems that can occur in the back of the shot which the actors are unaware of. This has helped me to undersand the importance of retaking shots and communicating with the crew to make sure you are in the right spot or if it needs taking again. working as a team and communicating with each other is crucial for film and tv.
