Trick of the Dark - Update (17/05/18)

Today we finally wrapped on Trick of the Dark. As the deadline of our extension is on the 21st, today we had our final shoot in time for the footage to be edited for the hand-in date. Our final shoot was in the cave, the location where more than two thirds of the film takes place. The shoot was in place so that the director could shoot some scenes which were narrative potholes within the film. The scene we shot today will hopefully add onto what is already a semi-coherent narrative. I was there today to be of service as producer. We were originally set to turn up at 10 where we would meet our actors, but we pushed that back to 11 this morning due to the fact that we had to get the equipment first. Evidently we have learned from our past mistakes on this project. There have been times when we have turned up late for our actors, on numerous occasions. Today ran a lot better. We got there for around quarter past 10. It takes us roughly 15-20 minutes to walk down to the beach with all the equipment, and when we got there I said that I would set back off to meet the actors whilst the crew set up. I was enjoying the fresh air and I would have had little to do anyway, so I made the trek back to the car park. The actors arrived around 20 past 11. I escorted them down to the cave where the crew were all set up. From there on out we had an extremely punctual shoot, lasting until around one o'clock. The director got all the shots he needed, and I was there to mark everything down on the log. The footage and the log have been passed directly on to the editor who started editing the footage shortly after the shoot. Despite the shortcomings on this project over the last few months this was a nice way to end it, and I hope we've eventually made something of redeeming quality. 

Below is the production log from the shoot.
