The next day after our Voodoo Shoot, we headed down to Rob's house to shoot our Amy and Barry scene, again this was a case of being let down by our actors, the woman that was due to play the role of Amy was unable to turn up on the day; although the crew was worried about this, Rob suggested that his mother and father-in-law could fill in for the roles of Amy and Barry. Though the thought of again having to have amateurs act in-front on the camera; but on the day they really did come across very natural on camera. Again the first thing that I did as soon as we got down on set was to set up and frame the interview scene in Rob's front room with the actors sitting down on the couch; again like the night before Damian was filling in as the sound recordist, so I asked Ross to fill in as 2nd Camera man and asked him to capture footage of our Zombie Barry looking to get the emotion and essence of his character. Unfortunately we were unable to get access to any lights so I had to rely on natural lighting; as for the cutaways of family portraits on mantlepieces, I replaced a lot of these shots, making the most of our situation by film close ups of Rob's in-laws wedding photo album as his mother-in-law was looking through the photos reminiscing on her past with Barry.
