FADE IN:
INT. OFFICE. DAY
On Sunday the 15th of August, crew and cast met in Craigieburn, far north of Melbourne, to re-shoot a scene with Alex Kadamani, in the role of Lorenzo, and Maria Fernandez, in the role of Lucia. Thanks to Stockland that provided the new location, we re-shot a kitchen/boardroom scene we had originally shot at the The Melbourne Actor's Lab, courtesy of Peter Kalos, on the 18th of June.
Producer and DOP Joel Mielle went through the rushes and informed me that some of the eyelines between Alex and Maria just crossed over the 180-degree rule -- most people wouldn't notice, but we were also not totally satisfied with the setting, so in the end re-shooting the scene was probably the best thing to do.
Instead of shooting the whole scene in a kitchen, like the script calls for, we decided on shooting the majority of the scene in the gorgeous boardroom of the Stockland office in Craigieburn. There was some minor lighting adjustments because of the large windows, but in the end, the shots came out nice.
The boardroom table was large, and in fact, after debating this with Joel, we decided to place both actors far from one another -- this is a scene where they are arguing, and the spacial distance re-enforces their psychological state.

The last few seconds of the scene were shot in the kitchen and hallway of the Stockland office. We wrapped up slightly behind schedule, but overall all went well.
Our make-up artist for the day was the ever-reliable Teressa Borjesson. On sound recording, we had Ben Bomitali, and our camera assistant was Leanne Campbell. Of course, we had Production Manager Georgie Smibert keeping us on our toes for the whole day, and we were also assisted by Christina Gabriel.
We now have two more days of shooting, and it's a wrap.
