Yuden and I went out to try and film the alleyway scene that's meant to come after the dinner scene where Veronica and Jeremy have a fight. We wanted to show just how crazy the protagonist is by having her throw an alcohol bottle at her boyfriend out in an alleyway, which would've made for a really cool shot, however, we didn't know how we'd be able to do it. We wanted to try and get some sugar glass, which would make it safer and give us more we could do with that scene, but it was too expensive and too difficult to get our hands on, so we were trying to think how else we might be able to shoot a similar scene. Since our actor as the boyfriend wasn't too keen in standing in front of a wall and have our protagonist throw a bottle close to him, we decided we could just shoot the scene with Yuden only, breaking the bottle on the floor or throwing it against the wall, making one less person we could potentially accidentally hurt for our movie. It also meant, since we only really have one bottle, we could do it in one shot, or as many times as it would take to actually break it, which we learnt took a lot more power and takes than we expected.
We also ran into problems with where to film. Our original idea close by school wasn't available as there was too many people around. That was our main hurdle, trying to find a place where no one was. Yuden and I got on a bus and hoped we'd find a location. Lara then called us, because she was going to come out and film, and she suggested a location close by her house. There were some people walking around, but it was beginning to get late enough and we weren't interrupted by people passing us too often. We set up to film, and it was getting dark, so we decided on an area just under a street lamp to give us some more light other than the one we'd brought with us from school. It took so long to actually manage to break the bottle that by the time Yuden did, it was far too dark and the footage wasn't good enough. We decided we might have to try and fine a different location and film again in the week.
