Day 05.5

Just a short day this one but it just about killed me! Has a bad bout of illness coming on and stupidly carried on with the planned filming. We've so much invested in this that its hard to so no when everones allready lined up and ready to go. A simple shoot with the camera pointing out a window as a person attempts to escape from the facility. Grabbed the shot, came home, collapsed.

Free Filming Software

Any free stuff has got to be good to low/no budget film makers so check this out:

In a post a while ago while creating a funding document I was getting frustrated by Publishers lack of exporting to pdf without buying a pdf export plug-in. After a search I found a freeware version CutePdf but the experience made me search out a possible alternative set of desk top applications which were free. OpenOffice is a great freeware alternative to Microsoft Office. It is a fully-featured office suite which is compatible with leading office products. The main components are Writer, Calc, Base, Impress and Draw which are a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation creator and graphics package respectively. While it doesn't have a specific desktop publishing programme Writer appears to have much of Publishers functionality - and has an export to pdf function built in. As for Mac users I believe there is a port of the programs - which is nice.

Day 05

Another cool days shooting. After last nights panic it all went to plan. Cast and crew were assembled at a secret location by the leisurely start of 9:30. The location was sorted by a member of the crew who shall remain unnamed and myself and Neill hadn't seen it before the day. After a choice of two rooms we settled on the boardroom which suited us perfectly. Matt took a photo so we could replace items as we found them, then the room was cleared. Both Alex and Sandra were untested for us as this was there first scenes. Alex did a consummate job and held his own in the shooting environment. Sandra's performance was stunning - she nailed her character off the bat and gave a powerful performance which shone on camera. Expect to see more of these actors as they both deserve to progress in the film world.
