Response to Rehearsal

Shooting this rehearsal really helped me out in knowing how much time is needed for filming. We didn't start filming until around 4pm so you can see the daylight slowly receding as the scenes progress. I think the camera may be out of focus in some scenes, and I am not too sure how the white balance will look since it was constantly getting darker. I now know that I must be more clear about what I want the actors to do, and what I want the person working the camera to do. I am not used to telling that many people what to do. All of the actors and actresses did not show up so it made everything more difficult. People had to play multiple roles, and several different people had to work the camera. I need to think more about my placement on the screen throughout the shots and my movement. I also need to think about using more camera angles, because most of the angles in the rehearsal are about the same.
