Overall I am very pleased with the shots i have gathered and feel the day ran rather smoothly as I followed my plan and storyboard across the two days. I have more than enough material which i feel is always better in case i don't like a particular angle when editing the video or in case i decide to completely cut a scene out. I managed to capture particular scenes more than once from different angles so it creates variation for the audience when filming Liv and Tom at home and in the town. However I found this difficult when filming in the train station as the trains would come and go and sometimes the train would even wait for Liv as she was pretending to get on it which caused us a few problems. I expected this kind of obstruction the scene as this is only an amateur production, and not professional where i could have organised a scene with train properly. However I did the best I could and managed to get a shot of them walking up to the train, her about to step onto it and a close up of their lands losing touch. I feel this should be enough to signify her leaving without completely laying it out for the audience, which could be more effective and less cheesy.
The actors Liv and Tom acted very professional as well and kept composed when the train scenes didn't go to plan. They were always in character and what i really liked was that they kept the acting to a minimal enough for the audience to capture the emotion but didnt over due the scenes in order to create a natural, realistic effect. On camera i could really feel the actual emotions of their existing relationship and i was really pleased with them. They brought changes of clothing like i asked to show change in time, and arrived on shedule for the shoot. I couldnt of asked for anything more from them :)
