Filming, unfortunately, didn’t go to plan. Only one of my actors could make it in the end, so I adjusted my original plans to include the same shots that I could, and just extend them. I felt I wasn’t properly planned for the situation, and therefore many of my shots had to be taken multiple times. Some shots, which involved another character, had to scrapped due to this, which meant I didn’t stick to my animatic as thouroughly as I’d hoped. However, I feel that the shots I did take were as I’d hoped. I decided that by my protagonist having a cigarette during some of my filming it would add to the aspect of depression, as a cigarette is often a symbol of these themes. I feel that given the circumstances filming went as best as I could manage, and therefore was confident going into editing.
