Friday - Lesson, pre-shoot

Our main setback today is that Bhavika phoned in ill, meaning that she's unavailable both during the lesson and for our shoot after school. She texted ahead of time to let us know, though we did phone just in case to check up on her. She said that she'll try her best to make it to the shoot, but not to hold out hope, as she's not feeling much better than when she texted.

In the lesson today, we've been experimenting further with effects and writing the dialogue script between the two characters. One recurring problem was trying to balance out the number of effects between various CUs - we had too many on the eyes and not enough on the nails. We also had difficulty in creating a visual style that lasted throughout the title sequence but wasn't overly repetitive.

In the shoot tonight, we're planning to re-shoot the shoes shot and also to film the dialogue scenes between the two roommates. We'll also be filming the pre-dialogue shots of Bisma on Sunday. We hope to get everything sorted so that we can edit on Tuesday and have cross-cutting between the dialogue. We'll also be attempting a tricky overhead shot, so wish us luck!
