Thursday

today was our first interim meeting with bertrand. after looking at our footages, he commented that our footages were too few. i guess this was because we had very limited time to shoot, reason being the two cast also had to go to their respective schools, aloysious going in the morning and hazel being in the afternoon session. thus, our shooting time is limited only to the weekends, and even then the both of them might not be able to go in the early morning or stay till the evening, further shortening our shooting time. however, next week is their march holiday, meaning they would probably be free, but then again we might not be able to get both their parents to agree to come down for shooting everyday.

anyway, the plans for tomorrow are that we go over to andrea's friend matthew house to shoot the scenes of him at home. we chose his house because it was quite a wealthy house, plus it had a piano. we're going to shoot the opening scenes where he couldn't play the piano anymore, and also the scene after the piano in the garden where he finally is able to play again. we're having problems with the casting of jayden's father though. our plan was for one of our fathers to play the role, but if this shoot is to happen in the afternoon, none of them would be free. quite a big problem to solve, but it should turn out ok.
