Overall, our main shoot went well. We found it easier to stick to the scheduled times as we had gone through this process before, in our test shoot. We were more organised at the beginning as we knew what improvements we needed to make, such as dressing up the mirror area to make it more feminine and tidying up the bedroom. Therefore, we felt as if we were working on a better quality set. Below is a bloopers video of from the shoot:
In terms of the number of shot takes, there were considerably less overall, as we were getting shots done quicker due to practice from the previous shoot. Also, we tried out the 'new' shots we planned to include and we liked the results. For example, the shot where Stacey puts the police badge into the drawer looks very professional, considering I hand-held the camera. Another thing we were pleased with was the drastic improvements in lighting. Shadows were no longer an issue.
Challenges:

- We found getting the angles of some shots challenging; the master shot of Stacey walking across the bedroom, for instance. We had to bear in mind all the different rules that we could not break which was sometimes confusing.
- Some of the make-up shots were time consuming again as we were constantly unsatisfied with how they looked, whether it be the brightness of the lipstick or the pout afterwards.
- Inside Shayam's house it was a bit noisy and unfortunately we could not always tell how much noise was recorded when we watched the footage back on the camera, as the noise was still in the background. This may be a problem when it comes to the editing.

We will want to do a back-up shoot so that we are completely happy with all our shots and angles but we will ask our teachers for any feedback first.
