Filming log - Entry 3

Today I managed to film both of the scenes that happen in the park. I slightly changed where I filmed because I thought the place I filmed in the end was more suited to what I wanted it for. Also the script for scene 5 is only a rough guide and so in my actually footage there was room for my talent to improvise.I have now filmed all of my scenes so now I will begin editing and re-shooting if I need to.

Scene 3

The next scene is Lauren waiting on a swing in the park for Chloe to arrive. (mid-long shot of her sitting on the swing looking at her phone) She keeps checking her watch  and looks a little nervous. (close-up of watch face showing the time as 5:00) She then looks up to see her friend walking towards her. (long shot of her friend) The camera then zooms into the friend's face and the audience can see that she is one of the ones bullying the main character. (close up) Chloe looks worried because she knows that the person she enjoys talking to so much is the person she lets be bullied at school. Switches to a close up of the Lauren's face. She looks shocked and hurt. Switches back to a close up of the Chloe as she says "Hi" nervously.  Switches back to Lauren who shakes her head and runs away beginning to cry.

Scene 5

The next scene is Lauren walking around the corner ready to meet the Chloe. (point of view shot)  As she rounds the corner Chloe comes into view and stands up when she sees Lauren coming. Lauren walks straight past and goes to sit on the swing behind Chloe. (mid-long shot) Chloe sits down next to her and begins explaining herself.

C: I'm really sorry (looks over to the main character)

L: Why didn't you tell me? (looking at the ground)

C: Because I didn't think you'd believe me if I suddenly came over and said 'Hi, I'm your pen-friend can I sit with you?' (looks away from the main character and begins twiddling her thumbs whilst looking at the ground)

L: Why didn't you stick up for me? (looks at her sharply before looking away again)

C: I don't know. I wish I had...I know I should have done and I know you probably hate me but I really miss talking to you. You're a really great person and a really good friend. Please let me sit with you. (looks at the main character pleadingly)

L: (main character looks up at bully contemplating.) You know they'll start bullying you too? (close up of main character as she says this)

C: I don't care, we can stand up to them together (close up of bully/friend as she replies)

L: (close up of main character as she smiles) Ok then

(They hug)
