The two weeks we spent filming were long and tiring but the end result I'm sure will be worth it. The first week of filming was probably the most difficult especially the first day of shooting due to lack of communication between the director and the rest of cast and crew. allowing us only to wrap one scene and only film part of another. The rest of the week actually quite fun to do.
The second week I think went much better because we mostly didn't have to work on heavy make up and most of the scenes were shot inside (Monday at Teeside University and Tuesday we filmed at the Director's old House until 4pm. On Wednesday morning the rest of cast and crew filmed in Billingham town centre which I could not take part in due to having maths lessons in the afternoon.)
On the Wednesday night we filmed a werewolf transformation so it was a bit nippy, and I'm pretty sure that the actor's screams for the transformation scared a few people that were walking past where we were filming because a police car passed by where we were filming several times. The day after that we filmed in an abandoned house in Ingleby Barwick where I played a dead body.
After the Half term Holidays we returned to Preston Park to shoot the fight scene for Shadows walk among us which involved fake blood, fake organs and an actor who's knee landed into a pile of dog poo during a take where he was flung over while chasing the protagonists. two days later we went to Norton high street to once again shoot several scenes which were lost due to the tape being lost or damaged I am not sure which.
once all the scenes were shot we had to edit them and compile the first cut/draft of the film by the 25th of April which was extremely fun.
Overall I enjoyed working on both short films. I did have a few problems due to the location being cold and the background noise from cars when filming in Norton High street but I enjoyed working with the cast with the jokes. In between takes. some of the crew were fun to work with the ones who did work anyway during the pre-production process.
