A couple of stills from the day. Initially I thought the shoot would be a disaster since it started to absolutely pour down with rain when I left to go meet my actress, but luckily that passed within the hour and we were able to get on with shooting. What I shot is going to be a part of the series of cutaways that make up the bulk of my film, showing Lucy in various locations or situations that depict her state of mind. I shot around the Lagan toe path and Botanic Gardens so I got a good range of urban and natural locations which looked really good on film.
One of the new ideas I had was to have the monologue read in Spanish and have English subtitles. I thought this would be interesting and unexpected (unless you've read this blog of course) and I've never done anything like this before. My actress is bilingual and speaks perfect fluent Spanish so she's agreed to translate the monologue for me.
All in all a successful day. My next step will be shooting in the studio for the projection scene which I've gathered a fair amount of footage for and a few reference images to acquaint myself with how it can be done effectively.
