This was our second shoot at Jack chams as in the first shoot we were let down by some of the dancers. For this shoot we had a few people reply to an add we put up in a few places, it was a male and a female and a few other extras from the first shoot. The people that replied to are add didnt turn up as it was a nice day and they had decided to go to the beach insyead and didnt tell us intil the monday after. We then had to start ringing around friends and putting things on facebook to try and get some more extras. Ross was able to get his girlfriend to come down and help us out by being a zombie dancer. We always seem to have problems with extras and actors when it came to shooting at Jack Chams which has put us about 2 weeks behind. From trying to get professional actors to help out in are production i have learnt that they dont always have the commitment levels that you do and next time i would try and get some funding to try to pay the actors so they would have more reason to show up. In the Jack Cham shoot we had to do a little DIY on the windows by putting up some cheap black curtains and tape them up on the windows so people werent able to look in and it made the bar look a bit more sleazy and creepy.
The prompts that we used for this scene were
Can you explain the kind of men that come to this place and dont you think that they are morally corrupt?
You have been openly criticize about the way you treat the girls, so what do you have to say about that?
