So after the success of yesterday off we went to film the other potential dad - Simon. Zara works in a pub restaurant part-time so we were able to film the dinner scenes in there. Simon, like Tom, did not seem to be enjoying the experience of acting at first at during the scenes when we are talking over dinner he very much had to be coaxed into relaxing a little bit, after that it was all fine. Again as with the swing scene with Tom a lot of what Zara filmed was just natural conversation which is highly effective. While we were filimg the dinner scences the owner of the pub then mentioned to Zara that we could shoot some of the video in one of the hotel rooms upstairs if we wanted to. Although we had not planned at all to shoot this scene we thought we should make the most of the opportunity we were given and therefore went ahead. we had to think on our feet about which ways of shooting would look most effective but I feel that the shot of me leading Simon into the room is very effective as it insinuates that we must of had sex without being too revealing - necessary for the pregnancy storyline. I also think the shot is effective because of the kissing scene with Tom shows a physical relationship between the two of us and therefore the scenes with Simon are comparable. As I led Simon into the room the loud bang of the door hit me with inspiration that we should use a shot of it closing, so Zara filmed the slam of the door, we do not know whether we will use this shot but I think that it could be quite effective if placed well.
