Today was my first day of shooting, in which I got all of the footage needed with actor Zak Labiad.
I was using some of the equipment for the first time, so setting up took a little longer than expected. I experimented with lighting positions to check what made my actor look best and minimized shadow.
A problem I had was that, towards the end of the day when I shot my outdoor scenes, the sun had moved past the trees in the garden I was shooting in, meaning the patch of grass I had to obtain my jib shots was severely reduced (for the shot to look like it was taken in the middle of the field, Zak could not be lying in shadow).
Overall, I found today's shoot to be very successful, and I feel that the experience of setting up the lights in relation to the mirrors and the actors in relation to the mirrors, will make the next three shoots much easier.
