Thus, on 4th August 2014, the filming crew and I set out on our journey as a professional filming team, little did we know the difficulties we had to face.
On the day, we set up home base at Asfah's house as it was the prime factor of creating our sugar glass. Each member of our group was assigned to bring required items to home base A.K.A Asfah's house, for instance I was to bring Sugar and glitter (an alternative source due to the difficulty in finding red powder). Our actress has arrived, well taken care of and in the appropriate attire, our original plan was to visit the school while two of us went to collect the camera equipment from a friend who recently filmed her music video, that is after the sugar glass was made and was in the process of cooling down.
However, trouble was around the corner. We faced great difficulty in finding the ingredients mentioned in the link, that we were back to square one- researching simple methods in making sugar glass and this time we included alternative sources such as using visual guides on YouTube.
Again, we faced
difficulties finding ingredients and equipment that were essential with this
guide and resulted in looking for an approachable, as well as equipment
sufficient method of making sugar glass.
This alongside another YouTube video that Asfah's
mother found, were used as guides to make two sheets of sugar glass. Due
to glucose sugar being difficult to find in local stores, I found a
British equivalent to the substance which we had available, something that
after an hour or so of researching only came to mind.
