Day 2 of filming:
We managed to film all we needed to today, which included all the exterior footage. The weather was a bit of an issue; although the lack of sun was good for filming, it did mean that it was quite cold and we less enthusiastic about filming than we were yesterday, which was in a warm house. However, we were able to film all the parts with Lucas in and all the exterior shots.
I think that we could have gone to film earlier in the day when the park was less busy (despite the fact that it wasn't that busy because of the weather), but we didn't mind that a few people were in the background; it added to the sense of realism and that the world still carries on around Lucy, despite her being stuck in her own world.
When Roxanne calls Lucy, we had originally planned to have an extreme close-up on the phone so that the audience would know that it was Roxanne calling her, but we were unable to due to the fact that the sunlight reflected off the phone and it was difficult to see. In the end, we abandoned this idea and setlled for Lucy answering the phone and then Roxanne's voice dubbed over a pause.
Hopefully, we now have enough footage and we don't need to refilm any parts. But if we have to, it shouldn't be a problem because we have borrowed the tripod and camera for a little while longer and we have plenty of time.
