On the second day of shooting Al decided that Callam and I were to switch roles. This meant he was the acting cinematographer whilst I took care of the production, crew and cast's needs. This change in responsibility was far more productive as I felt more in control of my role, rather than being uncertain of the shots I was capturing with the EX3.
Throughout the shoot of the second day I was on constant watch for spilling water. I would be mopping up whenever necessary to minimise the electrocution hazard that water posed. Too make sure the dancer was comfortable I would be on constant watch for her needs - whether it was to provide her with a towel or a kettle of hot water to heat up the pool. Alongside all these responsibilities I would be logging our shots and loading the clapperboard.
The shoot ended successfully. Cleaning up was made easier with the water vacuum we borrowed from UCA's workshop studios. In retrospect our dancer had said that she had the most fun shooting with water! Water must certainly be therapeutic as the crew also really enjoyed shooting with water. It certainly juxtaposes the high levels of stress we were faced with the day before.
