Diary of second day filming

On the second day of filming, we began at 2:00pm.
Amy's make up was done the same and we dressed Matt - our male role - in a casual t-shirt and chinos so his look was compatible with Amy's

We took some shots of Matt and Amy in bed and around her room. We made sure we had contrasting attitudes so that we could show them arguing but also happy together. To highlight the contrast, we shot them in bed hugging and then turned away from each other and also Amy in bed alone to show her lonely state when he is away. 

At about 4:00pm we drove to a field in Pilgrims Hatch - Brentwood. On our way we took some footage in the car to vary our locations and show a typical life of a teenage couple. They begin to argue and Matt pulls over and pushes Amy out of the car. 

When arriving at the field, We shot the couple entering and walking along a wooded path area and took some footage of the couple enjoying each other's company. This went very well and we were very happy with the footage we gained from this location. It could have been improved if the weather was better but as it was raining, we changed their costumes (Amy wore a coat and wells and Matt wore a jumper and boots) to adhere to the conditions which made the shots work. 

The couple held hands to portray their connection at the time.

After this, we went to the coffee shop 'Costa' in Shenfield high street. We wanted to shoot here to show the typical conventions of a young couple. We asked the manager of the branch for permission to shoot on the premises and after his approval, we began shooting. We shot some two-shots of the couple sitting at a table together drinking coffee and some birds eye view shots of their hands meeting over the table for more variety. 

Overall, the second day of filming went very successfully as Matt and Amy worked well together in front of the camera, we gained a lot of footage and varied locations.
