DAY 2 OF FILMING

After filming previously, our group was aware of the time scale we had and roughly how long it would take to film each scene, now knowing that we needed to get as much footage with a variety of shots as possible. Our main aim of this session was to get the scenes filmed in the school done. There are two conversations over the phone with the mother and daughter and originally we wanted to do shot reverse shot for both, although we realised with our limited time scale, we chose to have one conversation over the phone at the beginning of the film and use the actor Amy to reply as if she was speaking to her in the other conversation. On our first day of filming, whilst using the script we made, we filmed the replies of Amy on the phone seperately in a series of different shots. However, for the mother on the phone, we filmed this as one whole scene. We learnt yesterday that we would be making editing harder for ourselves as with the editing skills we had we could blade and cut to what we wanted, rather than using a series of different clips. 

The location we needed for this scene was some sort of office, to portray that she is a busy working mum  as she later goes on a business trip. We shot this film as a medium shot in one whole go, however we later realised that using different shots would be more effective. As we didn't have time to re-film, we chose to put our editing skills to use and chose to zoom in on the scene at different points we wanted to look as if we had different shots.
