Freezing Shoot 5

Three days later and the main cast were back together to film our LAST shoot on Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 (or so we thought). It was a freezing, cold day, filming south-west of Sydney in the directors street and home, which is the setting for the lead character's home and fictional town of Eastdale. When we had the wardrobe fitting prior to filming, to put together the girls outfits for each webisode, we just assumed (hoped) it would always be sunny and picked dresses or jeans and a top. Unlucky for the girls, we were filming the first webisode, which is set in a cemetery and we picked dresses for them. But being so cold we added jackets to the outfits. The only bonus of the overcast weather was that it really suited the mood of the first webisode and overall plot of the show.

We filmed into the night, filming our first night scenes for the series that are all set at the lead character's house. Overall, the day was an unpleasant experience because of the cold and the minimal wardrobe selection, and we ran out of time having to leave two scenes to be rescheduled for another day. We only had two crew members and one camera for the whole day also :( lol. Talk about tough times. This production is the definition of no budget and limited/minimal help but I'm so thankful it can be made :) Our biggest concern isn't the production value but creating an entertaining drama that will connect with our intended audience and leave them wanting more! Quality is just a bonus.

Bye for now!
