Filming Day #2 - 2nd February 2012

Present at this shoot were, Sam, Rob, Adele and myself. We all managed to arrange some time where we could film together. Also present were Erica and Adam who were acting for us on this day. We shot these scenes at Sam's house and had gathered some of the props we needed. One of the things I would have done differently for this shoot would have been to have organised the group better as we didn't have all of the props we needed and this meant that we had to work around that. This was probably because we tried so hard to find a day where we could all film that we forgot to organise the things that would make it run smoothly.

On this day we shot all of the scenes before the flashback, however when we left location we realised we forgot to film the scenes where Anthony brings his mother out of the flashback. This once again was down to a lack of organisation and because we didn't have a storyboard with us. We managed to film the scenes where Sam is looking through her pregnancy/baby memorabilia and although we did this quickly as we were running out of time, these scenes did look good and we managed to get it from a few different angles in order to be able to include some nice edits and add interest to what was happening onscreen.

Overall, this shoot didn't go as well as I'd hoped it would and although I have not yet seen the footage, I suggest some more shooting will be necessary.
