Contingency plan
Bad lighting - As I don't know 100% what the lighting will be on the day of shooting. I will have to visit the pub were shooting at so I know what lighting comes through and where. I will also book out a light just in case its necessary to use it.
Camera wobble - To make sure I avoid any camera wobble I will book out a tripod to place the camera on to secure it.
Not finding the location - To make sure I can find the location I will meet someone who does know where the location is so we can walk to the place where we are filming together. I also can put the address into google maps so it will guide me to where I need to go.
Not being able to shoot a certain shot - I will look through each shot plan thoroughly and decide whether their actually doable. If they seem difficult to film, me and my group discuss a new scene which we can replace it with.
Filming:
When we filmed on the 15th January at The Old Spring we tried to follow and act out the script the way it was wrote, but as we acted it out we naturally adjusted the speech so it fit the genre we were trying to achieve to get. The actors also didn't have the exact costumes which the script said the they were wearing. This didn't matter too much as the costumes which were worn in the end represented each character well enough. We also only used one part of the pub as there was the general public was in the rest of the pub hence we couldn't film there and we also didn't have permission to get them in the background. This didn't effect our footage too much as we got exactly what we needed from what we had, although in some areas I feel it could have been a lot better.
At the pub it was a very safe environment so it was almost impossible for us to injure ourselves. If anything was to happen there was plenty of people around us that would've helped out. We were in the corner of the pub so we couldn't hurt any one that was in reach of us or our equipment.
Footage review
I thought the footage we shot at the pub was overall very good. We were lucky with the lighting as it was clear to see who the actors were. However some areas on the actors can be quite dark. We are having to re shoot a scene due to the fact one of the actors is speaking but you can't actually visually see them as the camera was positioned too low. To prevent this next time we shoot we will double check the camera before we actually start filming.

SAMANTHA EDIT
6 Rules to editing:
Following the 6 rules of editing I watched an episode of CSI New York. Each episode is supposed to be tense and a bit creepy. The episode is full of tense music which builds the atmosphere so it causes more of a reaction on the audience and made the Rhythm. The cuts were very smooth, after each shot of action, it would switch to a quick scenery shot of New York to show the setting change.
