However on the day I was made to change groups and work with an entirely new sketch about self-harm. The shoot was still very successful and by simply working through the whole scene from every camera angle, we had completed everything we needed fairly quickly. The reason we did the whole scene each time and not just the necessary dialogue was for safety, in case a shot went wrong and so we could cut to any other one. The roles were quite balanced. As a group of three it was quite hard for all of us to be behind the camera seeming as we had two actors in the sequence. I played the less involved role of an older brother bullying her sister but also helped out with camera positioning, continuity and will hopefully be in charge of editing. We didn't have to many difficulties on the day, as we had a simple task with not too many people involved and so the whole shoot was a success. However I did learn from the experience. Prior planning of which shots need to be taken is completely essential for success, especially under a tough time constraint. You don't have time usually to work out what you want to film on the day.
