Today was our first day of filming, unfortunately Monday's shoot had to be cancelled due to issues with props and set up so we have to try and see if we can film all the house scenes on Friday and if not, schedule another pick up shoot the following week. We filmed in Sheffield Hallam's Hub's, the same location we filmed the 2 minute character study in, to get the shots for one of the flashback sequences in the film of the morgue where the main character, John, remembers why he is having these visions of a small girl that is his daughter, and that she is dead. This is quite an important scene within the film as it lets the audience know why John wants his memory wiped so we had to make sure it was obvious, but still slightly ambiguous, that this was his daughter. However, due to the availability of the actors, we couldn't get the young girl to come so I had to stand in as a body double. This made the shot list we wanted to work from become almost unusable as we had to frame each shot now without making it obvious that it isn't his daughter and actually a 19 year old male.

Even with the issues we faced, the footage we got from this shoot looks very strong and will edit together really nicely and hopefully contribute into making a clear narrative.
