The actually shooting
A few people were absent on the shooting day, Kenny has his brother's birthday party that day, and we could not ruin his birthday, so we gave her a chance to relax... The worse news was the actor for Cathy, has a family member dead the day before filming. We do not know what to say and what we should do, the girl do not want to disoppoint us again, but she has no other chance. We let her go. In this emergence, we changed the actor into a Chinese girl, katheria who is Quincy's close friend because she was going to company Quincy while filming. She is reliable and strong, but the problem was that was her first time she had been in front of the camera and what's more, we need her to cry.
The performance within Quincy and Femi was conducted fluently and naturally, however, we have to specially take patience to teach K how to act into the sad mood. Even we knew that acting is not important for examers, but the feelings between actors are influencial to the whole production,especially for editing. So we still require high emotion output that day, we even bought an eyedrop to help her, which was done by our assistant. Quincy has also taught her how to perform and showed her some examples. The team work actually made a great effect on K, we got what we want.
From filming on 29th, we learned how to direct different actors to explore the best performance on them. For example, the directing work for Quincy is quite easy because she is outgoing and creative, she has also watched plenty of American drama, in which the performance is very exaggrated. We only need to tell her the basic information within the scene, she could get into the mood quickly, what we need to do to her is control her movement within the camera and remend what she missed in the script. However, the directing for K has really challenged my nerve, she is active and positive, native and happy. These are all good personality but which was not fit into the mood. It is difficult for her to be really sad, we tried physically let her be hungery, psychologically remind her some sad news(maybe we should let kia do it, because she is really upset). leaving her alone, but these do not work, eventually, we changed our plan, to fit the actor. We changed the action at11:00, the close up of Cathy's crying face, into the anger face, what K need to do is stared at Quincy, this works much better than sadness. So as a result, we have to change the next action of begging Quincy as well, which is eventuelly she said nothing but better than everything. Changing as the situation is the mainly experience this time.
The weather was cloudy on Friday, so we plan to film the river side next time when it is sunny
