Much Ado About Lauren end of week 3 of shooting

So there it is , our title. Much Ado About Lauren. Thrown a lot of titles around but this seems the most appropriate in line with the quirky comedy feel of the film and that our leading man's nickname is Shakespeare and he writes a play about Lauren! Get the word out, we have a title!

So another eventful week, had a great time filming with Simon and Tom some dialogue scenes in their house. We tried to vary locations so we have the brothers chatting in close up on the floor, and then we have them exchanging dialogue in the shower! Very funny, in fact I ruined a couple of takes laughing so much! Can I just go on record in saying the boys were not naked during the filming of this scene (and neither was I!) Very funny seeing the boys chatting while lathering each other up!

Then proceeded to film them chatting while straightening hair and then having a cozy chat together in bed. Can I just say this reads a lot worse than it actually is! Tom had a teddy bear with him and all is very tasteful!

Filmed a "common room" scene in 2 halves. It was great to welcome Sophia back into the film, we shot a scene with her and Simon (he reads her the poem his brother has written her) and then she storms out screaming revenge.

We then filmed the second half of the scene with Ian and Jack playing two of our "bad guys". All went well and we had some fun. All cuts together well. We had another lamp blow, but I discovered that it was a fuse and not a bulb. Subsequintly the lighting in a couple of shots was not all I wanted but, hey, we are doing the best we can with what we have and the times these young people are available.

Able to track down these types of fuses and so the lamps are ready for another week!

Also pleased to meet up with my good friend and fellow blogger, Stevie Warner, who played me some new songs he has written for the film, which are excellent. He also gave me a cd of some other songs he has written over the years and I LOVED a song caled, "Blue" which I will be putting in the movie somewhere (I just hope Abi who plays Lauren has blue eyes!! Although I won't be re-casting her if she doesn't!! Abi lights up the screen and I'm so glad she's a part of this.)
