Group Post: Planning - Issues with Transport

Myself and Lauren have been communicating via Facebook messenger and on the day of our third shoot (27th of October) my original method of transport was not able to take me to Julians home anymore due to work commitments. 

Therefore we arranged for Laurens Mum to kindly pick me up from my house and take us both to Julian's house. We were extremely grateful to Laurens Mum on that day otherwise we would not have been able to film the majority of our singing into camera shots. 

Being unable to drive we were very reliant on other people which was unsettling as this is our project.

Planning: Organising shoot dates - gone wrong

Me and Lauren initially decided we would need 2 full days of shooting and depending how them tow days go it would depend on if we needed a third day shooting.

The initial dates were 24th October and 25th October, and our star image informed us he would make himself free if needed.

However on 23rd of October, our star image informed us he only had an hour and a half free on the 24th October due to a change in his plans and shows hes performing in.

Therefore my partner and I organised which days he had the most amount of hours free on were and we discovered they were the 25th and the 27th of October so we informed our female role and she happily agreed.

Shots needed without actors, e.g. bubble bath, cctv, cups of tea, sun, clouds, rain  drops, leaves, were all filmed separately by me and my partner.

Lauren had the camera on the 23rd before shooting with our models, and I had the camera on the 26th, which was in between the two shoots we had with out models.
