For our backup shoot we knew that this was our last opportunity to get the shots that we were missing. Although this put us under pressure, it also motivated us to work well in this last shoot. Unfortunately we were not able to book the studio for an after school session, so we had to film during lunchtimes. This proved to be somewhat troublesome, since we had to set up and film in a very short time, plus we had to make sure our actors were there. Furthermore, there was some difficulty in getting the table we had used for our scene from the school dining hall, since it would probably be in use for most of the first half of lunchtime.
Despite the hurdles we had to face, we were able to set up fairly quickly, since we had gotten used to the setting up of the lights and scene. Also, because we had a list of the shots we needed to film, we were able to shoot very efficiently. This time around I took great care in the setting up of the scene; after I had distributed the poker chips, I made a note of who had which amount and in which way they were arranged on the table - this would have helped to prevent any continuity errors.

The main issue we had with our main shoot was the lighting. We rectified this in our back up shoot, paying very
close attention to the lighting of each individual shot - this made us able to create shadows across the actors' faces as we had originally intended, similar to the opening sequence of 'Drive'. Overall I think we managed to hugely improve the footage and I think we are finally going to be able to make a
final version of our opening.
