For this project I got 2 actors through Casting call pro, Jerry Anderson and Andro Cowperthwaite, both lovely people to work with.
The shoot went faster than I had planned both of the days. This was due both to the actors being well prepared and the fact that I had been doing recee on the locations beforehand and sorted out possible problems. The crew was also very professional and effective when we were working on set.
Since everything was well prepared we didn't have any big issues on set. When filming on the beach we didn't have any issue with the public, only a few dogs that came to sniff around and say hi. We had one person falling over because it was hard to move some places on the set due to sand and rocks, but the person didn't get hurt.
The scenes we filmed in the B&B went without any faults. The people owning the place were both doing acting and set building on the side and were very helpful to move things around and to help keep it quiet while filming.
I'm very happy I made the storyboard as detailed as I did before filming since it helped me getting a better idea of exactly what I wanted in the frame and where I wanted the actors to be to avoid breaking the 180˚ rule.
For the next time I'm doing a project I hope to be able to use external lights since we were struggling quite a lot to get nice lighting on the indoor scenes and to have another person doing the camera so I can just focus on directing and not doing both as I did on this one.
