Our 4th shoot day was the scene that we original planned to exploit the Occupy Plymouth movement for our hippie character. Due to the disappearance of the Occupy Plymouth folk we had to change the location and date of our shot, Ross had seen a flyer a few weeks before of a Reggae night that was being put on at Voodoo Lounge and thought that it would be an ideal location for us to shoot the Hippie scene at as it was still in-keeping with our original plan. And we would still be able to have that exploitation aspect to our scene.
As for the shoot itself we arrived down at the location at 10pm and met our actor Lew turned soon after we arrived, I quickly set up the shot for the interview with Voodoo and the atmosphere in the background. For the first time in our project we were able to get hold of Audio equipment from the stores and was able to get clear audio from the interview but because of the noise we weren't able to capture Rob's dialogue clearly at the location. Because we had the audio equipment, Damian was assigned the role of sound recordist, so I had to assign Ross the responsibilities of 2nd Camera Operator and gave him a brief of what was required for the shoot.
The shoot night went very smoothly and we got some cut away shots as well as the interview, if I was to shoot this scene again I would have liked to have had some extras come down to the locations holding up banners and signs in the background for Zombie Rights to sell the scene to the audience more. This is were the scene doesn't quite meet our original standards, but much like the rest of the earlier shoots we've been letdown on so many occasions by actors and extras, that the thought hadn't crossed our mind until after the shoot.
