Second Shoot

The second shoot took place on the 25th February. We started getting ready for our shoot at 2.30pm. We picked up our first actress and headed to location. We arrived on location at 3.45pm with two of our actors, a third followed promptly after. I started the make up on our first actor, Anna, who would be the cat, whilst Lauren filmed the two other actors for scenes they were needed in. The fourth actor turned up and he joined in Laurens filming whilst I continued the cat make up. I then had the problem of fitting coloured gels over the existing lights in the living to try and make the room look more "club like." I made a cone out of the the gel and taped it around the light, taking care not to touch the bulb with the gel to prevent them burning. We used a pink gel to flood the room and blues and greens for different scenes.
Myself and the Cat then went to pick up our lead actor, Sian, and then we could start filming properly, by this time it was 5.30pm.

Whilst I prepped our actors Lauren filmed the scenes of Alice coming down the stairs and eating the "Upelkuchen" cakes with Sian. We were now ready to film scenes 5 through to 6. This was mainly the dancing in the living room and getting numerous shots of the actors. As Lauren was the Rabbit I was on camera. We didn't really face any problems at this stage, it was just straight shots with no complexity. With all the solo shots and the group dances it took about 1 hour in total. It was now 7pm and one of our actors had gone.

We then went to shoot the scenes of Alice on the phone outside. This was shot similar to the scenes with the fridge. The song was played in the background to make it easier for our actor to know when to speak. Fortunately we had took out a big LED light for outside filming so the darkness wasn't an issue. This took no longer than 15 minutes.

The outside rabbit scenes would then be filmed, followed by the cocaine scenes. We used Icing Sugar for our cocaine, it gave a similar effect and just looked like it was cut.

At 8.30pm we filmed our final scenes of the cat walking down the stairs followed by Alice.
