Rehearsal Write- Up

My rehearsal last Saturday night with my actors went ok, in the idea that everyone understood what I was shooting for. Everyone was cooperative and willing to do what I wanted them to do. I had a lot of trouble keeping up with my actors and making sure that they will be able to make it to the rehearsal. I will for the final video replace an actor because she won't be in town this weekend, so we will see how everyone is able to adapt and continue with the acting. I didn't realize how small my space was and that made me take in account the way my lighting will have to be lit. I know that I want a basic overhead lighting that doesn't really leave shadows because I want the audience to be able to see everything that's going on. We all had fun for the most part, but I wouldn't have really high expectations on this shoot because some of my actors are not that energetic and mood capturing as I would like them. But we'll see how funny it comes out to be.
