Evaluation of the day before the shoot day

The day before our shoot day (Monday,2pm), we went to the studio to set up by puttiing wooden floorboards, putting up wallpaper, creating the window and the curtain to make it appear like a bedroom. There were come changes with our concepts such as we were meant to be shooting a cross burning. Then we thought about the impracticality of burning the cross as we would not be able to do that. However, we came up with a better idea which not only gave the room a better lighting and but also made our theme ideas more significant in our music video.

Another significant change was when we decided not to have a set for bathroom scene as we have decided to use the real bathroom at Radnor, boarding house instead to give a real sense of a bathroom from the screen. I thought we have managed our time real well and worked efficiently because we each have divided our task individually such as Vlad and Sophia went to do screen test with Walter in one of the classroom whereas Sophie and I worked on setting up the set by applying glue on the wallpaper. I was also popping in and out to help giving directions and rehearsal techniques for Sophia and Walter on what they should be focusing in front of the camera so that we would not have to waste time on the shooting day sorting out what we want the actors to do. I also thought that by having a screen test for the actors before the shoots would helped them to feel comfortable with each other especially they have to kiss and required an intimate relationship on screen and be prepared for the shoot.
