Filming - Day 2

It can take a while to get into the swing of things. And the 2nd day of filming was a lot more productive than the first. Today we finished the scenes involving Ellie and Miss Smith/Mum. We finished virtually all the kitchen scenes and all the outdoor scenes. Obviously working with people who are non actors is more difficult than with the experienced, and some cast members hadn't so much as read their scripts. But, the right form of communication and certain mnemonic devices helped them learn and sometimes 'read' their lines. As it was a Saturday we decided to start at 11 and we finished at around 4. Due to time constraints, some kitchen scenes were slightly rushed but I'm sure we'll have enough footage to work with. Hopefully Monday will be out last day of filming, and we can get all of the scenes involving Owen and Moosey done, and use a smoke machine for the effects shot at the end, courtesy of Jodie.
