We started really early to make sure all costumes, props and food was ready for when the extra's arrived, we booked a room in A block to use as a changing / green room for the morning. After a short nervous wait, we had 6 extras and Davey T turn up (plus we planned to use ourselves face down too). He really looked the part, we set about getting everyone into appropriate costumes then all headed up with the props to the location in the woods.
As soon as we arrived we set about setting up the shoot, I dressed the set and sorted out props whilst Andy made tin foil hats and Faysal started shooting slides. When everything was ready we placed the actors and set up the first shot with the super8; after agreeing on the angle / tempo of the shot, Faysal and Andy joined the bodies face down to be a part of the frame. I shot a number of different takes before shooting some of the black and white 35mm. At this point I switched roles with Faysal so he could take another series of takes and shoot some more 35mm while the scene was set.
Having got what we needed for the first part of the shoot, we set about organising little set up shots all shot on 110 in an informal manner, we all had a 110 camera each and worked quickly to capture what we needed from the different scenarios and from different angles in an intentionally amateur style. Confident we had everything in the can we needed we wrapped the extras and finished with a recording of the final speech from the leader. We probably won't end up using this as Daves voice wasn't exactly suitable but was good to capture none the less, the other elements of the shoot appeared to go really well, the 110, super8 and b&w 35mm will all hopefully look great. Now it is a case of getting it all processed and printed.
