Some Change

 In this blog post, I will be talking about some of the changes that were made before filming took place.

Living room

So, my group and I filmed at Grace’s house so she did all of the work with the setting before the day we filmed took place. (But it turned out amazing.) Grace had rearranged her living room, as that’s where we were going to film, and made it look like a therapy room. I’m not sure what her living room looked like before but oh my gosh, she had the exact furniture we needed. 

Outfit

After I was done putting on the outfit that I decided Alice would wear, I was staring in the mirror and I felt that it was off. I don’t wear baggy long sleeve shirts but I always see other people wearing them on social media so I tried to pose how they did in the shirt. It still looked off… I remembered that tucking in half of your shirt to make it look like one side was cropped and the other side wasn’t was trending and so I tried it… Of course, not everything you see on social media is going to look like real life. Or maybe it was just me who had no idea how to make the tucking shirt idea work. The only solution I had left… was to cut off the neckline of the shirt. Not going to lie, I had no hesitation in doing this. I mean, I never wore the shirt since…2022, so I felt as if it wasn’t a big deal. After you finish cutting the neckline, you slightly pull the part where you cut away from each other. So, I did this… and I stretched it too much. BUT I had no other shirt to wear so I just had to go with it.

Phone wallpaper 

This one was short and simple. Right before we were going to film one of the scene where Alice gets a mysterious call, i realized that my phone wallpaper may be visible. My original wallpaper has me on it (and one of my favorite actress, Maya Hawke, who I met at a meet and greet😁) and I was wearing my non baggy and non loose-fitting outfit. Something Alice wouldn’t wear. I simply went on Pinterest and looked up “emo phone wallpaper” (maybe that wasn’t the right choice of word😅) but hey! I found a wall paper that somewhat suited the character. It was black and off white and it was a spiral. The reason that me group and I named the character “Alice” was because of Alice and Wonderland (trust me when I say this... my group and I though of the name before we saw the blog sample post that had the same character name for the same exact reason.) To be honest, the picture I used for the wallpaper was one of the first pictures that popped up and since I didn’t want to spend so much time on finding a wallpaper, I just decided to pick that one.

Mysterious caller

Okay…this one, my group and I were really disappointed. Days before filming, we had contacted Willem Dafoe through some sort of website and… no response. (I had a slight feeling it wasn’t going to work but I wanted to keep my hopes up high) It’s not a situation we’re stressed or struggling on, but we just wanted something to add that only a few people would think of. So we’re back to plan A… we’re going to use Grace’s voice as the mysterious caller. I do wish that whatever website I contacted responded (Although it literally said it would take around four hours for a response) but since my group had originally thought of having Grace as the caller, it wouldn’t be as if it were our last option. (I’ve been trying to get the picture to be clear but no matter how many times, it’s still blurry. However, it is a screenshot of the message I had sent to the website. This picture was previously shown in the different blog posting of mine)
