Analysis of weekend filming

We filmed part of our short film on Sunday, however we did not do as much as we had intended to. We filmed as planned up into 2pm; capturing footage for the train station scene, beach scene and dog walk scene, yet we did not film any of the other scenes due to members of our production team having other important commitments. Nevertheless, the weather was great so we managed to capture all the outdoor shots successfully. We knew our train station scene would be difficult, mainly for the fact it is our longest scene so includes a variety of shots, and is being filmed in a very public place. A couple of problems occurred at the train station, and therefore have decided that we may need to reshoot certain aspects at a later date. Our first problem was we had members of the public waving at our camera, which was enormously irritating, especially as it happened during the scene of Lucas getting onto the train. That scene was very difficult to film already due to the fact the trains did not come very often and we had to film quickly when they did come as we were worried about our actors getting trapped on the train. Another problem that arose was when planning this scene beforehand, we had developed the idea of a Lucas walking through a busy platform, however when we filmed, there was no one else on the train platform, so it destroyed the idea we had imagined before.  A further problem was when reviewing our footage, we noticed how the noise of the train overpowered our dialogue, therefore we are going to have dub our sound later.
