So on the Tuesday 24th April, we had planned this day to be the official shoot day for our project. However, due to one or two actors dropping out, we had to completely scrap the shoot date and find new actors & a new date to film on. All was not lost though, as we then decided to use this day as a test shoot and lay out in person our vision, so Oliver being the director, began to block out scene by scene using ourselves as stand ins.
Having a shot list already made for this official shoot day, we then decided to go off key, and explore a bit more with the camera shots and how it would actually be filmed. Also as the script was not fully finished by this point it was just about getting a rough concept about how the shots were going to be pieced together. Furthermore we still used the bones of the script to block out each scene, so that when the official day of shooting did commence we were going to be able to hit the ground running, and hopefully the new set of actresses/actors knew their lines accordingly.

Overall it was a very productive day, we got through 3/4's of the script with blocking and camera work all agreed on. There were a few scenes where we thought we wouldn't necessarily need massive amounts of blocking as we wanted it to be captured as natural and fluid as possible. It was kind of a blessing in disguise, managing to take advantage of a day in which we had all thought was that of a bad one.
