This was the next work we did on the film, which was a re-shoot. We found when uploading the footage that there was a huge problem: we had made my sister walk all kinds of diagonals and hence the continuity was terrible. I also decided that I wanted a lot more footage, and with a clearer idea of what we needed and what we didn't need, we shot a re-shoot on Friday. Also, we needed to include the party scenes, but this ran into a problem: all the extras we had been promised disappeared at the last minute.

However, we had mostly success from thereon. I manage to lengthen the amount of time the film took by having Justin sit on a chair and drink more slowly. Also, we quickly made a decision to amend the script to set the film in a club instead of at a party, which works as well. We continued to use mirrors and emphasise the loneliness of the two characters. A lot more angles were used, and all in all, the film shoot went well.

There were one or two problems with the footage we discovered later. One was that we hadn't watched the camera carefully enough and there were one or two shots where we got ourselves in the mirror. But then again, this may have to be ignored or somehow re-shot.
