Bogdan fith update (its been a while)

right since my last post we have infact finsihed filming bogdan and are ready to go into post production but i will first talk about the day of the shoot.

For me the day started at about 5:30 in the morning because as the producer i had alot of work to be getting on with. Other than getting prepared before leaving the house, my first task was to go down to boots library and print out the images of bogdan's "wife" and "son" so that we had our props for the living room setting.
The second task of mine was to ring up the taxi firm so that I could organise times for picking up and dropping off through out the day so that we could stick to the schedule easily.
After the taxi's were booked me and the crew (excluding the director who was meeting the actors) went to the first location so that we could start setting up the equipment for the first set of shots.
After making sure that it was all in order I headed to the shop as i thought as the producer believed i should make sure that my crew were comfortable as well as the actors so I bought every one a bottle of water to make sure that the didnt get thirsty as we were going to be on the set for a while.
During the first shoot we did encounter some problems as the sound on the camera was not coming through witch lost us some time but after that was fixed we got to work.
Whilst shooting the third shot we encountered another problem as the council decided to start blowing leaves in the cemetery which caused alot of background noise that we did not need so as producer I went across to ask if they could calm the noise while we were shooting, consideratly they moved further up the cemetery but this did not help us however because of the way the microphone was posistioned alot of exterior noise wasn't picked up.
After being 40 minutes behind schedule we finally finished the first shoot and headed straight to forest fields to start shooting the second scene.
While every one was at forest fields shooting the tram scene me and the lighting manager (ryan) headed up to york house with the props and lighting equipment to start preparing the second set ready for when we needed to shoot in order to save time. This was a struggle as there was alot of equipment/props for just two people so after arriving and unloading the taxi at york house it took me and ryan five trips to get all the equipment/props up to the fith floor.
When we had finally loaded the room with every thing ryan got to work with the lights and i started dressing up the set.
The crew arrvied shortly after I finished the set which meant it was then time for lunch which lasted around twenty mins for me as after lunch headed to my house to start setting up the final location, however before I could even reach byron house i get a phone call explaining that some equipment was missing (boom pole) so i had to go back to the first set where i luckily found the piece of equipment which i then brought back to the sound man (umar) so that they could commence with the shoot.
I eventually got to my house so that i could start setting up the location, As stressed out as i was already i realised that i also had work later that same day which meant that theoretically i had to leave half an hour before shooting ended leaving the crew at my house with all the expensive equipment, but as they say education comes first.
After i had set up the location it was getting to four o clock and all i could do from then on was wait for the rest of the crew to turn up so that we could get on with the final shoot.
Finally at half past four the first half of the crew and jarrod turned up so that we could start setting up the lights and camera.
After we finished setting up the equipment it was ten to five and the director was still not here and we only had 40 minutes to shoot the final scenes which meant that we had to cut a scene from the living room set.
Every one was feeling the pressure at this point especially me as i had alot of responsibilty on my shoulders as well as being late for work.
It eventually got to half past five and we had all the footage that we needed luckily to make a descent edit of the film.

Here are some images from the day of the shoot: (coming soon)
