Purple Cobras Update

Our first day of shooting was yesterday and it went very well, we shot the first and last scenes of the film. In the first scene, our main character Daryll picks up the mail and sees that he is broke. His younger sister Misty walks downstairs and complains that there is no food in the house. Misty tells Daryll that he looks nice and asks where he is going. Daryll tells Misty that he is going to a job interview at the local thrift shop and the Misty needs to go to the store after school to pick up milk. Daryll also tells Misty to pick up her little brother from school. The next scene that we shot was the last scene of the film. Daryll walks downstairs wearing a shirt and tie and hands Misty some lunch money. This scene is similar to the first scene but Daryll now has a job and the house they live in is much cleaner.

Overall, the shoot went very well. There were only two setbacks that happened during the shoot. The first was that ppecs did not give us the ME-66 that we had reserved and we did not realize until we had arrived at the location. I had to drive back to Park and get the mic. Luckily it did not take too long to drive back. The only other problem that we encountered was that we did not clap or use a slate during the shoot. Since we used Craig's Canon T3i, we had to record sound separately and we also did not have a slate. For the first scene of the shoot we did not clap in front of the camera. This will make syncing sound more complicated but it is not a major issue. The shoot went very well and we are scheduled to shoot on Sunday with Nicky Wood.
