Re-shoot of Train Station Scene

We are planning to re-shoot our train station scene tomorrow morning. Last time we felt we were not fully prepared, so this time we have planned things much more efficiently and hopefully everything will go to plan. We have also organised to take more than one camera with us, as the trains do not arrive very often and when they do, we have to film in as few takes as possible. For instance; with the scene of Lucas walking onto the train, we need to effectively have that perfect by the first take, due to the factor that other people will be boarding the train at the same time too, which creates verisimilitude. However, if we have to capture that shot in more than one take, then we will not have the other people boarding the train, therefore it will not look as real and effective. Last time we felt the train platform was not very busy, due to the fact we were filming off peak and it was a Sunday, however tomorrow we are planning to film from 8:30am to 11pm, which will hopefully be a better time. Furthermore, the fact we are taking more than one camera means we will be able to film from more than one angle simultaneously, of course making sure that the other cameras are not in shot. Additionally, we are planning to start our film off with a time lapse looking down on the train station, which we have scheduled to film from 7:30am to 8:30am, steadily for an hour. Hopefully the time which we have allowed to record this will provide us with sufficient footage for the time lapse to work effectively.
