Jen wants to Block the scene on set . Decide on few wardrobe issues. Workout what we are shooting first. Get Kelly & John in to makeup then SHOOT ....

Jen like to have the actors to herself for a little time to work things out before revealing the all setups and angles to the crew ...

Although we were handheld most times Jen was planing a couple of tripod shots ,,,,,,,, I was thinking how good the train was in the background ,,, then realised it should not be there in the script ,,,, Dammm ,,,, Change the script ,,, it looks good ,,,,,,, he he he Only joking .

Actually after taking this shot ,,,, It was obvious that it looked just as good without the train ,,, I always use my Little Leica D-lux 4 to help line up angles and show suggested shots to the director

THEN WE START SHOOTING ,,,,,,,,,,,, This was a long take and wide with a handheld move ,,,, its the waiting on a long static part of the shot at the begining of the scene that is testing and we did quite a few takes to get it done ,,, but we were now shooting and it felt good ,,,, I must say it was a little strange not needing any lighting time after a rehearsal before we shot ,,,,

I had been a little concerned about possible close up lighting problems in the positions we had chosen for the scenes and although I was not able to get a Gaffer for the FreeB gig i was able to get a few pieces of kino and diffusion frames from Tony Gardner at ENGINE ,,, Thanks guys .

As it turned out ,,,, No Gaffer , No Time , No problems ,,,, We went available light except for the use of a round fold out silver reflector a couple of times ,,,,

I must say ,,, it is easy to notice that Jen is very good with the actors and they respond well ,,,, its going to be a good film ,,,,,,, we just have to get it shot in the time we have ,,,

We are off to a slow start but we are getting good footage ,,,

Kellys saying ,,,,,, What now ? ,,,,,,, Did I hear someone call Lunch ?

It was Jen's Birthday ,,,,,,,,, A cake was a nice gesture by Jiao ,,,,,,,,,, So sang happy birthday then had Cake and Meat pies for Dinner,,,, Then Back to work
