I'm going to shoot in the Hamptons twice on the same day, with an interval in the middle. I want to film there during the daytime using the light to symbolise the happiness and safety felt by the protagonist. I then want to shoot when its a bit darker to represent the danger and fear in the nightmare.

I'm filming the funeral scene first so the flowers are still presentable.

I've divided my filming into two days, one where I need both Megan and Holly and one where I just need Megan. This is helpful because the filming is condensed so if I need to re-shoot something or film more, I'll know pretty early on.
