The entire shoot for our short film will be at Pearse's house so we didn't necessarily have to do a location reccy but we thought it was important for both directors to go around the house in person, instead of just one.
We walked around the house with both our script and shot list and played out the shoots that we wanted while seeking out any problems that may occur during filming on both days. We wrote own the problems and then at the end of going around the house; we sat down and figured out how we would solve each problem.
We didn't encounter too many, but one example would be reflective pictures. There is a framed painting in the living room and if the camera man were to stand in and have the camera shooting, depending on what angle they were shooting at, you may be able to see their (the camera person's) reflection in the painting through the camera. As we walked through the shots however, we realized that we can still have the camera person in that same position but the camera doesn't need to be held so high up; therefore we won't see the camera person's reflection in the painting.

Production Meeting: Two.
28th February 2013
Throughout the week we had sent out some online advertisements for the two roles that we were casting. We advertised on Gumtree and Twitter, and were overwhelmed with how many people were interested in auditioning for the film.
Seven people got in contact with us during the week and on the 28th, we sat down and discussed when we should have a casting call so we could see the actors and how they would perform the script in front of us. We also agreed that Pearse would type up a short monologue for the son, and I would type up a short monologue for the mother character.
During this meeting, Pearse emailed the head of the HND Performing Arts department in the college as well as making a start on the shot list. We will be using Pearse's house for the shoot, and because we only have to use the kitchen, bedroom, hall way and a living room; we can stay in the house for the entirety of shooting and not need to travel to a number of locations throughout filming.
Before the meeting ended, we decided to have the casting call on Monday 4th March at 2pm; we didn't give the actors specific times, we just stated that auditions started at 2pm to make it easier for anyone if they were able to come early or if they were running a little late.
