So, the third night of shooting went a whole hell of a lot better. Everyone felt good and no one seemed frustrated. The lady playing the prostitute was worried about her car, but thankfully, I was able to get her done and out pretty quickly. The only real problem that seemed to happen was when one of the actor's broke a hole in the wall. (He wasn't supposed to.) I panicked for a moment, but I just walked up to the owner, told them what happened, gave him money for the labor, and promised to come back the next day with a patch. He was cool about it. He could have thrown us out and would have been right to do so. Next time I do this, I am going to plan my budget around half the money I have available just to make sure I have some available for unexpected problems.
Tomorrow I have another shoot, but this time I have planned out what shots was are making and in what order. Also, I have managed to stagger the call times, lastly, I am going to the site tonight to plan out where the lighting is going to need to be. Let's just hope it works. I only have 8 shots, so wish me luck.
