Things I learnt from the Lenny shoot:
- It is important that everyone is familiar with their roles so that things run as smoothly as they can on the day.
- Pre-production and planning is vital. Don’t rock up to a shoot and just ‘wing it’.
- If you want to be as productive as possible, you have to be ruthless with timing. Ditch shots that aren’t as important or are taking too long in favour of the vital ones.
- When choosing a location, also be mindful of sound. A place might look secluded and empty, but a bustling street full of traffic nearby will take away from that effect.
- Be prepared for all types of weather, especially in Melbourne. Rain can appear in the middle of a sunny day, just like how harsh sunlight can randomly break through an overcast sky.
