Filming: Day 2

This day was better than our previous filming day, so great that I got a car at the end of it, I kid you not.

We did face some difficulties at the start with our artist turning up late, because we had a time limit again, I started to worry that we might not get enough shots. However, although she did arrive 10 minutes late, we added 10 extra minutes to the time she was meant to finish.

We took some pretty awesome shots and made use of time efficiently, for example while one of us went to get another lens to change or look at the shot list for what we needed to do next, the other would take some random shots of our artist at the subway. We also decided to take some stills on where we thought suited, for the ancillary task as we figured we Kitty may be busy for when the time came to take some still shots.
  

Later that day, on the evening of that fine Thursday afternoon, we visited my home, a narrow white house that stood among gravel and was considered the ideal place to shoot our next plan of action. Smashing Glass and Burning Rose. A large empty bottle, two stained red sugar glass sheets and pink flowers, the three objects that was the centre of our camera's attention. We experimented with shots against a plain white sheet that would be transforming into our backdrop and without the white sheet. We shot different angles and ways to make use of this empty bottle, rolling it across the floor like I did with the drums in my previous production or putting in a few drops of red food colouring and smashing it (a master piece I was proud of but with the ultimate consequence of making a mess that took a while to clean up, a sacrifice was needed.) 

The burning rose, or flower in this case turned out differently than expected, It wouldn't set alight. So we went for an alternative method and tried wrapping up paper across the flower stem, so we would set the paper alight and automatically assume the flower would set alight as well. However, this happened to have failed and the result of this we found was due to the flower having a lot of water in its stem. While I was searching for a lighter in my draw to set our flowers alight, I found a packet full of sparks and it's safe to say ladies and gentlemen, we set them alight and filmed them, producing- as Asfah repeated countless times- The Buffer effect.
