Leading up to this week, we had to build a bunker from scratch in the sound stage. It took all of us as team and we completed it in one and half days. Olivia who is the production designer did an excellent work dressing the set and organising the team.

Day 4 of shooting kicked off at 9 am until 8pm. We all knew it was going to a be a long day as there were many shots to capture and we only had 3 days. I was the sound recordist for all three days and was on standby at all times. The majority of the shoot went well but we ran into a few bumps, mainly the cat. It was same problem i had on day 3 but she was a little better.  It is very difficult dealing with animals on set. However, Shiloh improved day by day and by day 5 she was a real pro. We manage to capture a lot more with her and she was more comfortable with everyone on set.

Day 6 was our final day at the sound stage and it was smooth until the last shot. Daniel wanted to parody Denzel Washington scene in ‘The Hurricane”.  Our major issue was solving the light. We were trying to make sure everything around Craig was black but his face. Lucky for us Blair from tech department offered to help us out. We took nearly an hour setting that shot up. I learned a lot form that experience on how to do the low light shots yet not darkening the subject too much.
