Filming Day 2: Julia and Athena

As previously mentioned, I fell behind on my filming schedule, so again I managed to catch up by spending a whole day filming with my mom and her friend who play Julia and Athena. When I first starting developing my storyline, I asked my mom's friend Florina to play the role of Athena because she was actually pregnant so I though this again would add an element of authenticity. However, by the time I actually managed to get them both together after the set backs she actually gave birth but I asked her to put a pillow under her top to give the idea that she is pregnant. 

While filming with Julia and Athena, I used the following locations: 

• Athenas apartment as I thought that way it would be common ground, making her more open to the suggestion Julia gave her. 
• A charity shop on Worcester Park High Street

I included all of the locations I used while filming with them on my storyboards and I chose them because they fit with my characters backgrounds and descriptions, therefore, giving me the chance to give further insight to audience members of their role and the narrative. Most of the footage I managed to gather today is useful, however, I didn't manage to shoot the footage of Athena outside with the child (at the park, the bit where she is looking at pedestrians etc) as the weather was bad and she didn't want to take the baby outside. 

I will now therefore, need to set a date where I film the doctors scenes and the left over parts of Athena's unless I use some found footage if I don't have time to film my own. But I am hoping I will be able to only use original footage throughout my trailer.
