From researching the lunar cycle for this year, it shows that 28th of June is the next time of the full moon. I want the moon I film to be almost full or full, so I will have to film my shots of the moon on a night somewhere between the 25th of June to the 1st of July. The rest of the filming can be done on any up coming days.

Luna Script     OPENING SCENE   INT. KITCHEN – MORNING   JESS is sitting at the kitchen table playing with her cereal as news report from radio at the end of the table is talking about missing girl LUNA WILLIAMS in the background.   NEWS REPORTER … And the ongoing search for missing Luna Williams is proving no more successful.

Police say Luna is (short description to be done when Luna is officially cast) and possibly wearing-   MUM turns radio report off and starts to speak half to JESS and half to herself.   MUM I don ’ t want to hear any more of that.

Echo is a 17 minute short directed by Lewis Arnold. It's a drama about a girl who uses quite an elaborate technique to con people for money in a busy city centre.
