We finally began to film the cafe scene of our film. We initially were going to film in Rosca, which was a coffee shop that had lots of space and good seating arrangements. However we were kicked out, which was the third planned place we were not allowed to film in. We decided that the only place we could finally film in was a tennis court bar as we knew some of the people there and there were no concerns.
Ellie, Alice and Aidah were also there as part of our film, as they played the girls that Alex approaches. We filmed the scenes with the girls first and then filmed the boys which is faster. Eventhough we planned to film in a cafe in the daytime, due to not being able to find a location we changed it to a bar setting during the night which worked just as well. Incase the lighting wasn't too visible, we used a soft box in order to give more of a shine on the characters. This looked natural

Issues
- We had to film quite quickly as the owners of the tennis court soon had to open up their bar again. However we managed to get all of the filming done in time.
- We were concerned that our video camera battery wasn't going to last, however we managed to find somewhere to plug it in so that we could resume the filming.
- There were some people in the room with us who were talking loudly, and we were initially concerned that it would affect the dialogue in the film. However watching it back, we could still hear the main characters clearly.
