We filmed the prostitute scene today and it turned out to be a rather eventful. As it was dark, we needed to think about lighting in particular, so we decided to use my car battery lights, this allowed enough light to make amelia stand out and so the audience could depict what she was wearing, however also not too much light, so the atmosphere of the night time was still kept. Also conviently it was rainign, which added to the desperate, hopeless look we were hoping to portray in our character, the weather acted as pathetic fallacy, reflecting the mood of the character. The rain also proved helpful in improving amelia's custome, for example it made her make run and smudge more, also made her hair wet, this further added to the look we were hoping for, and proved very effective.
We got the footage we wanted, and then crisis struck. To my stupidity i had left my car lights on, without the igition on, therefore my battery went dead. Me and amelia had to push my car so we could let amelia's neighbours out of their parking space. Then a whole variety of Amelia's neighbouts offered a helping hand in jump starting my car, eventually we had success. And this is us after a very long and wet evening.
