For this day, I was filming the rape scenes as well as the sequence of the victim confronting and murdering the man who assualted her. I asked Elodie (the victim) to bring two different outfits, and I asked the same from David Sandham (my other actor who played the assaulter). This was to make it clear visually that the rape and murder happened on different days. I did purchase some clothing for David to wear, only because of the fact it would be ripped due to his character being stabbed.
With the rape scenes I did find it difficult to film due to the adult themed nature of the matter. Even with this in mind, I felt I treated filming these scenes with the upmost respect and professionalism, along with the actors too who were also professional. I decided to film these scenes last as I felt it would be easier for the actors to film these scenes after to getting to know each other for a bit before hand during the other shots being filmed. They did click and get on well when they first met but I am still happy with this decision as it was a precaution and boosted the likely hood of the scenes to be more authentic as the actors would be used to each other a bit more than when they initially met.
I am happy with how this day went as it flowed easily without any serious problems. The only problems I had was with how some shots were either framed or I did not like how they looked all together. One of these shots was where David is sat watching television and how basic the shot was with not a lot happening in it. So to combat this I had him eat something which was a box of malteasers. This does sound silly and pointless but compared to how the shot looked originally with him not doing anything, was more visually interesting and I felt it added to his character as well.
