Unfortunately, due to persisting problems regarding schedule , commitments and the floods in our city getting in the way of things; it had been impossible to travel to OVADA due to the traffic. Therefore, we've resulted to abandoning trying to film in OVADA. 

However, we found a new location to film in and we have found a double for actor who helped us film. Although consequently, we had to alter the costumes to hide our doubles identity. So instead of Jordan wearing a suit, we had to change his clothes into a simple hooded jacket and jeans. Furthermore, the changes meant modifying the the settings and the scene. So instead of an abandon warehouse, we filmed at this old garage which gave this grimy and murky feeling. It felt cold and bleak due to the vehicles and metals about which we liked and worked in our favor for the misc-en-scene. 

We got ready in the car and applied the make up on our friend Lucy, who was playing as Jane- the damsel in distress. We used make up and blood capsules to fake her injuries. 

Since the opportunity to film in this area came to us suddenly, we had to gather resources hastily. So, since we couldn't have access to the lights we've previously used, we use flood lights as a substitute for a hard light and torch lights for soft light. We are so glad that it worked perfectly! 

All day we filmed the kidnapped scene and used new props such as a lighter and gasoline tank instead of a knife. We thought that this choice of props was better suited to the new environment. During our filming, we also took some more pictures for the ancillary task. 

It was a great day!
