We were all really excited to meet our cast and start filming today. We knew today and Saturday were to be our hardest but most exciting shoots as they were on location and with the most cast/crew and extras. Today's shoot was at the school so the crew arrived at half 7 to begin setting up and then the cast call time was 8. We had a late start as Maisy was stuck in the Dartford tunnel traffic, so we had to cut our whole script read through, down to just the first scene read through.
Our Director, Jordan then briefed the cast and crew and Hennie and I gave a brief health and safety talk so that the cast and crew knew what precautions to take.
The cast all bonded together really quickly and really well which I was really pleased with as that was my main concern to begin with as they had never met each other before. By the end of the day it felt like everyone was old friend and we were all really excited for the next 3 days filming.
If I could have changed anything from the firsts day shoots, it would be that the extras were waiting around for quite some time at the beginning of the day so I should have made their call time later. They didn't seem to mind though and ate their way through the provided food!
We also had time to take our promotional image that we will be using for all our posters, dvd cases etc. I am really pleased with how this came out and think it really portrays the different characters and their friendship groups.
