Shooting day
Shooting went amazing today, the shots came out much better than I anticipated. Gaya's acting was perfect - she had so much enthusiasm and her actions were so realistic.
Tonight we are reviewing the footage and whatever needs to be re-shot will be done tomorrow.
No major problems, just switching batteries a few times - but apart from that it all ran smoothly.
Ran through each shot 2/3 times just to be sure. Had more than enough props and managed to use almost all of them.
We originally shot the first scene/shot in all black, but the outfit blended too much into the background, so we changed the outfit to a grey jumper and blue jeans to help it stand out more.
Stills from today's shoot:
For all shots except the medicated one Gaya had no make up on. She was also barefoot- Chose these to give a more natural feel, also you can make assumptions by peoples choice of shoe so thought it would be better to avoidadded connotations.
I put dark purple eyeshadow under and around Gaya's eyes to make her eyes look sunken and tired.
The makeup looked amazing, especially under the LED white lighting, it really highlighted the bags and make her face look ill.
