We started firstly by taking a few photos of our younger actors together; however due to the male actor acting out of character and messing around on set, all of the shots were unsuccessful and unusable. We weren't best pleased with how our young actors were working in the location of the big oak tree, therefore we decided to change location in which it wouldn't be so distracting; we also felt it wasn't childlike enough, the chosen location then became 'the hut'.
We then went onto filming – we re-shot some of the same scenes from our first draft of the two characters arguing, making sure to keep clothing and other aspects the same as previous; we did this as we wanted to show our younger actors the kind of relationship that we wanted them to have and we felt as a team that we had acted better on this occasion so we re-shot and merged our new footage with previous footage.
We then changed location to ‘the hut’ for our younger actors; we directed them on dialogue, eye-contact, proxemics and reactions between and towards one another. We did five different takes in which a two-shot was used, a single shot, and extreme close-up and a panning shot. The scene consisted of our younger actors talking about ‘big school’ and their friendship; the girl then gives the boy an object and walks away. We agreed as a group that we only needed the younger actors to establish a small part of the relationship but in a big and significant way and we felt that they achieved this for us.
