Things didn't exactly go according to plan. Starting with the fact that even though we had booked a room, then double checked to make sure that we were allowed to use it. We were kicked out of our first room as it was being used for a class. Before then moving into another one. I arrived later than the director and a couple of others, but apparently they were moved repeatedly from more than one room. Even when we finally were allocated a room, people kept coming in and being noisy. When we asked the teacher why people were in there and that we had booked the room she didn't seem keen on listening.
Aside from the fact we were also rapidly running out of time (one of the many problems of having to film in a school/college environment), when we were filming there were many disputes about what to film. This was a mistake as in all fairness we (and more often than not, me) should have shut up and listened to what it was the director wanted us to to.
I feel that the filming went okay, but I would liked to have had more time to get the shots and location right. We had the perfect room at first, but due to bad communication (be it that we weren't at fault) and the fact we HAD to film something, we were forced into a room that didn't really fit the role and as a result our micro-series suffered. However, we did work very hard in the time and space that we had, and despite constant interruptions managed to to the best with what we had.
