20 (25) + Ruthie pieces of 8 (est. 10) and 10 (est. 20), parked at the Blue House. Martha pulls the wig off in this block, so she is wigless from 21 on. Everything needed from 10 came out of this chunk (Andrew, Sept 19 at wrap), so Day 2 no longer carries it

Starts 7:20 PM (Andrew, Sept 18 evening), 9 minutes BEFORE the 7:29 sunset — the first half-hour is real light going to dusk, then full dark, which is the point. No blackout (Andrew OK'd Sept 17). Keeps its 2h 55m, so the day ENDS 10:15 PM, 25 minutes earlier than before. Becca has the TV room until 7:20. CONTINUITY: HMU — 26 (the tackle) now shoots TOMORROW but comes BEFORE this in the story. Photograph the dirt and the restraints on Ruthie before and during this scene; tomorrow matches back to those stills

Ruthie pops out in 90s kid clothes

Moved from Day 4 to keep the green-shirt run together with 45 and 48, all on the doc-camera POV rig. 46 stays on Day 4 — it soaks her, and it is kinder not to do that mid-day

Green shirt, from 45, on the same doc-camera POV rig. LAST scene in that look today — Jenny changes back into the cult outfit at the meal

Moved from Day 1 (Andrew, Sept 19, on the day). Two setups on the shot list — the cabinet insert into a dolly move to profile, and the wide where Ruthie runs. She runs out of the kitchen here and across the field in 26, so these two stay together

Moved from Day 1, and 6:30 PM is held exactly where it was. 50 minutes, down from 1h15. Two setups on the shot list, so 25 min a setup, and the tackle rehearsal is inside this block. CONTINUITY: 27 shot the night before, so the dirt and the restraints match BACK to the stills HMU took on Day 1 — this scene is what makes her dirty, and the audience already saw the result

Martha alone in the bushes, 25 min — moved AHEAD of 5 (Andrew, Sept 18 evening) so the troupe scene does not start until 10:15. Jim and Jan collect a tripod from Panavision, 8000 Jetstar Dr, Irving, at 9:00 AM and drive up; roughly 38-40 mi, an estimate off the road grid, not routed. [CHECK — Mary: is the troupe needed in frame or for eyelines in 6? If yes, the swap does not work]

Shot straight after 12 while the truck is still here. WILD LINES: Rod records Lloyd's sc 16 megaphone line, and anything else wild, during the turnaround at the end of this block (Andrew, Sept 18 evening) — it is why Lloyd is not held until 6:25 PM. LLOYD AND JIM WRAP 1:30 PM. HOWARD BREAKS — his truck is back for 16 at the motel tonight, call back 6:25 PM · The rest of 11, no truck in frame: 12 setups, most of them quick inserts (Andrew, Sept 18).

Stays on Day 4. Green shirt, from 45 — which now shoots on Day 2, so the look matches BACK to it. She soaks: doubles needed
