For the back-up shoot, we reshot all of the scene at Bowyer's Water. Even though we only planned to redo the conflict scene with the bullies, it was important that we maintained continuity in our sequence so the lighting and weather had to be the same. I think that the weather during our back-up shoot was perfect and we captured beautiful shots of the sky and even had some swans in the background of our shots! I personally thought that the weather for the main shoot was not ideal as it was extremely cold and the shots were a bit dark due to the lack of sun.
We watched some bullying scenes in films previous to our back-up shoot which reinforced our suspicions that we needed more master shots from different angles. Since Alex and Georgina were acting as bullies in our sequence, Olamide and I alternated between shooting and directing the conflict scenes. In the end, we ended up with a sufficient number of master shots which meant that while editing, we could choose the best shot from a large range of shots from different angles.

Because we only had to shoot the outdoor scenes, we could spend a lot of time running through the sequence many times, meaning that we could focus on getting good shots without worrying about the time it would take. This resulted in a sequence that had good continuity. I think that the morale of the group was good and I had fun during the back-up shoot with the certainty that our shots were much improved from the test and main shoot.
