I chose to share this photo because the experience I had while filming this scene with my group was educational. Katie (the director) and Maggie (camera) spent a lot of time trying to get the shot that was planned to work, but the light from the window cast a lot of troublesome shadows that we did not prepare for. Eventually a simple solution was found and we moved everyone and the camera to the top half of the stairwell were the shadow was solid. It was just a lesson in making adjustments and finding solutions.
Excellent description of the scene and what you learned. The photo is also good. I wish you had a second shot of the group at the top of the stairs to demonstrate the difference.
