We all had different roles and although we did rotate, most of the time I was filming, Nina was in charge of notating the best takes in order to make our editing process easier later. Charlotte was responsible for the playback and was taking many pictures, which we essential in order to document the set changes and the final set design. We shooted for half a day which was quite a good timing as we will be shooting on the 20th Nov in the scrap yard as well. So, we finished in time and we pleased with the result.
As improvement suggestions I think that taking the fact how many problems we had to deal with even one day before the shoot, the cast was our main issue. The idea which we had at the beginning, but never managed to fulfil - to get a real band, would have been so much better because in such busy community as Hurtwood, everybody is reluctant to miss lessons, especially the teachers. Luckily, everything turned out positively at the end. We were delighted with the cast and how they worked together; their image even was similar and suited the theme. They all put the effort into performing as best they could - our lead singer really enjoyed himself and therefore this helped to take better shots. We were also positively surprised how photogenic they all were, which is a key to music videos. So, I am guessing that our casting decisions paid off after all.
Here you can see Nina writing down good shots.

There again Nina observing the screen in order to make sure that the shot is on focus and check that we are taking all the needed shots.
