When filming during day one and day two, we encountered a problem which set us back a little bit when filming. When we began shooting shots, sometimes a bee would come into the shot which scared our actors. This was a difficult problem to fix because it was kind of out of our range to do something. As cinematographer, it was important for me to make sure we were got all our shots before we ran out of time. Especially since I had all the shot ideas in my head (also on the story board) and I wanted to get every shot exactly how I imaged it before we would run out of time and have to rush to complete.

Although this was pretty funny when it happened and we were able to capture it on camera, it did set us back a bit because it was pretty distracting when we were trying to shoot our shots in a timely manner. Two reasons we believe the bee was attracted to us was because our first location was set next to the agriculture garden, and also me and two other people involved in the film were all wearing floral perfume. We all decided on the third day of filming to not wear any perfume in order to keep the bees away. To fix this problem to the best of our ability, we decided it would also be best to get our other shots that were set at the other side of the patio first, and then moving back to the table by the garden after the bee had gone away.
