Last night we decided that to celebrate Halloween in style we would do the slightly scary scene for our trailer. The 'Crazy Lady scene', as we have named it, consists of a dream scenario in which a scary, crazy lady (played by Bareen's sister) gives Kayla (Saidah) instructions on how to resolve her problem of falling asleep at random times.
We used a LOT of make-up to make Bareen's sister look the part including blue eyeshadow and bright lipstick that was put on in the heart shape style that we borrowed from the 'Queen of Hearts' in the 'Alice in Wonderland' (2010) as shown below:
We also used long fake eyelashes, a lot of mascara and a lot of blusher. We had planned for her hair to look similar to that of 'Bellatrix Lestrange' in 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix':
Bareen's sister came up with a brilliant plan that worked perfectly to make her hair look like this. We put b
aby powder in her hair to make it look grey at the top and streaks at random places. We then pinned up the top layer of her hair to make it look big and then messed it up a little bit to portray her as crazy.
This is the outcome:
We were going to film the 'Train scene' today as well, which we had changed into a tram rather than a train as it would be easier to film, but we couldn't because Bareen had to work later than she thought and so it was too dark to film when she got back. We are discussing whether or not to leave out this scene entirely as we seem to have enough footage for our trailer already because some of the shots last longer than we had planned.
We also re-filmed the 'Restaurant scene' in this session as last time the cameras battery ran out and the only take we had filmed did not turn out very well. We improved the set a lot from last time so that we could convey a romantic atmosphere more effectively:
Last time:
We filmed it in Bareen's living room again, but changed the position of the table so that the TV cannot be seen as it had been the last time we filmed. We placed the table in the same spot that we filmed the 'Doctor's scene' in, but we moved the big dining table and instead used some small tables for the characters to sit at. We covered the table with a nice duvet cover, which acted as a table cloth, and put the usual props that you would find in a restaurant on the table - a wine bottle, wine glasses, plates, napkins, salt and pepper shakers. We also put some props - flowers and several candles - on another table in the corner and turned the light down to create a more romantic atmosphere.
I think the filming session went very well and we were able to get the 'Restaurant scene' done relatively quickly as we had already tried to film this scene once so we knew exactly what we were doing this time. We got all of the shots that we intended to film for the 'Restaurant scene' and the 'Crazy Lady scene' and intend to edit them as soon as we can.
