Reading through the script for the first time was interesting, i had already read the script at home but while reading it as a cast and crew for the first time really made the visual thoughts in my head come to life.
It helped me picture scenes and what they would be like when it came to shooting days. It made me excited to start the shoots.

I never received any continuity photos of my makeup throughout the shoots so i had to just try my best and creating it the same throughout each shoot i was acting in.
I had to create tears down my face on certain scenes and this made it really difficult because it would be obvious to the audience if they looked different in different scenes on different shoot days

shoot 5
Lindsey chained and gagged to crib and Hayley attempting to feed her (morning shoot)
Today i was very nervous for this shoot as i was worried i wouldn't pull of the acting the way James wanted it to be like. It was also a bit painful for me this shoot because being gagged and tied up for such a long period of time was hurting my skin but i couldn't move due to continuity. i feel like this could have been thought through a little bit more before the shoot. I have enjoyed all the shoots majority of the time but i cant say the same about this one just because it was so uncomfortable.

shoot 6 (re shoot)
Spencer and Lindsey arguing
Lindsey crying to Liam outside
(night shoots)
This was re shoot and it didn't take very long at all. we had all of the shots on the previous shoot for this however it was the rain outside that affected the ronan camera so it had to be re done on this day. All the shots got done pretty fast as we were aware at how little needed to be done.

shoot 1 Monday
Dannie and Lindsey arguing outside (night shoot)
This was the first shoot of the film and was really excited for it. arriving on set it was still light outside so Sophie and myself had to wait inside the SU until it was dark as we were in little costume and outside was freezing. I feel like we could have been called to set a little later as we were waiting around many hours but it is understandable for the first shoot as everyone was getting used to setting up equipment. This shoot was very long as there was a long shot list to get through however we all made it enjoyable making it fun for one another. James was very hands on helping us with our character and explaining what he wanted from us.

shoot 2 Tuesday
Hayley and Lindsey arrive at the apartment and argue (night shoot)
This shoot was very long as it was difficult arranging where the equipment could go and not be in frame of shots as the set was very small. One of the most challenging shots was when Lindsey is meant to be hit by a mug, it took us a while to figure out how it would work well looking good on the camera. Because there was a lot of waiting around on this shoot it it became very restless for some people especially because it was a late shoot. i was very tired towards the end as it felt like we were going round in circles a little bit trying to figure out placements of shots.

shoot 3 Wednesday
Spencer and Lindsey arguing
Lindsey crying to Liam outside (night shoot)
This shoot was very long as it was difficult sorting out equipment in such a long day, it had also been a full day of filming for some of the crew which made filming on the night very tiring. I did my own hair makeup for all the shoots but this one needed to have tears down my face, i did this using mascara and water just cropping the water into my eyes and it ran down a little bit. however because Lucy hadn't taken pictures of my makeup it was difficult to re do it the same for other shoots

shoot 4  Thursday
Lindsey cries to Liam and then Liam attempts to sexually assault Lindsey (night shoot)
This was a very cold night shoot, everyone worked really well together in keeping each other motivated and warm on set. we all took blankets to share for when there was a pause in filming. This shoot was difficult getting changed into character as there was only Frankie and Benny to get changed and do the tears in so it was a little embarrassing walking in a full restaurant with fake tears coming down my face. We finished earlier than 12am which was good and because we had rehearsed this scene so much in pre production it went very smoothly with getting the actions correct. The background noise slowed the shoot down a little bit because there was pubs near by to the shoot but it couldn't be prevented.

Week One
Day 1
Starting week one all actors were sent up stairs to the editing suite to start working on our character bios and discussing with each other what we thought the relationship between each character would be like. This was then sent to James so we could read over them together and see what he would agree and disagree on. He said he wanted a lot of our ideas to be the main background of it so it helped us get into character with one another the most.
One of the biggest things we did throughout this pre production week was to action our scripts, each time we went through a scene with james it really helped to write down next to each scene sentance what would be the action towards that line and why. The biggest scene for me that this was helpful on was the scene with Lewis and myself because we created a number pattern of the movements we would take throughout the scene to make it appropriate to act out as it was very hand on with one another. This definitely made me feel more comfortable with this scene to perform as we were both aware what we needed to do in the scene so it wasn't changed each time.
Tech runs with crew
A lot of the pre producton week was spent running different scenes for nathan and Stanka to do rehearsals of shots then wanted in scenes and to get an idea of how they wanted the lighting to look.
Cast rehearsals together
We spent a day in the separate room to the crew for the each of the cast to run their scenes in front of each other and then give feedback. This was helpful for me as it made me more confident to perform in front of everyone and it was nice to be able to hear positive and opinion of changes to each scenes from the rest of the cast.
Blocking scenes
James was amazing when it came to blocking scenes with us, he was always asking us question like what we were confortbale doing certain stuff and would always work on a scene with us if we asked. Blocking the fight scene and the attack scene was the most important for me. James would create step by step movements for the scenes which was great at helping the scene come together to make sure no one got hurt when i had to be strangled or that no one felt un comfortbale when lewis and myself did our scene.

· Danni - best friends since children, always had each other’s back. Know everything about each other, like sisters. Trust her with everything

· Spencer- Boyfriend, met on tinder, relationship happened very quick and been together around a year. A very unsteady and toxic relationship. Emotional and physical abusive. Lyndsey sticks around because Spencer turns each obstacle around, so it comes across as if he is sorry each time.

· Liam- acquittances, only see Liam when I am round Spencer’s. Can hold a conversation but wouldn’t choose to if I didn’t need too.

· Hayley- Older sister, very close, loving relationship, both gone through a lot and always been there for each other. She has been a mother figure from when Lyndsey was little as their parents haven’t been around. Lyndsey has been staying with Hayley a lot since the passing of her daughter to help her. This is has been a lot to deal with for both characters. Starts to become a little too clingy for Lyndsey to deal with.
