Wall in Naples filming


Today we were filming for wall in naples, the shoot was an other really long one. a day before filming everything had to change as they lost their filming location and they had to find a new one and redo most of the script. In addition the weather forecast predicted rain when we are supposed to film sunny italy, so a "rain script" was drafted as well. The day begun really early and the weather looked really moody, our first  location was an inside one so the rain didn't matter and was actually incorporated to the scrip, in the first location we had only one actor so things went really smooth for us. while we were moving to the second location the sun came out and the director decided to change the script again into the initial one having it set in a sunny location again. the filming started really smoothly the first main actor was already dressed and the second one had brought all his own things. As more actors started to appear the weather started to get worst as it started to rain, so for continuation shake we decided to dress the actors just before they needed to appear on film so their clothes wouldn't get wet. Fortunately all the outfits fit and the fact that we had a variety of styles and colors helped quite a bit as we could discus everything with the director and if he didn't like any of them there were some more options. An other tricky thing that we had to deal with was that one of the actors had to be naked during one of the shots, the actor himself was quite comfortable doing it thing that made this really easier. we just made sure he was worm and he was covered up whenever he needed it. In addition one actress was casted the day of the shoot and she was a size 6 so reasonably enough what we had soured didn't fit her so we had to take the clothes in but they still didn't look right. This was the shoot that I was more prepared I had everything that I needed and some things that weren't needed weren't any extra weight. Altogether I wasn't very happy with my work in this shoot but the director seemed to be quite content thing that made me feel quite better about our work. The preproduction was really tricky as things were changing every hour and the director himself had new ideas that he would propose ever hours before the shoot, but all the people involved tried to keep in contact inform me about every change, thing that made the whole thing easier fore me.
