Wrapping Up Filming (Hopefully)

      This filming day was planned for the 27th and 11:45 AM. I suggested 11;45 AM just so my group would have extra time to change into costume and do makeup. More specifically my makeup, as the scenes we needed were all mine. I wanted to make sure we had enough time considering our time constraints. That time constraint was 5 PM as one of my groupmates had to go to work. I arrived at the filming location with my costume already on and had my makeup done immediately. This time I asked for my makeup to be simpler, not as complex as the last filming day. I thought it would be useless as any close-up shots, or the mugshot of myself was done. The audience wouldn't notice the intricate makeup anyway. So, I settled for one simple black eye. I ended up wearing a sweater over it because we needed to drive to the park to reshoot a couple of scenes. Of course wearing a bloodied shirt, fake or not, in public is asking for trouble. I filmed the scene that needed reshooting, since I wrote the script I had an idea of what I wanted this final scene to convey. Then it came time for my scenes, all I really had to do was bawl and respond to the investigators. I probably could have gotten more into character beyond that, but most scenes focused on the investigator's reaction anyway. After filming all my scenes, I checked the final results and they got my stamp of approval. Be
fore leaving I agreed that I'd help in the editing process.
