Extreme mood lift, increase in energy, increase in social outgoingness, acuteness in senses (hearing, touch, sight are much more sensitive than sober). Feelings of love and comfort are more apparent as a MDMA user will explore these emotions more with people around them.
Dehydration, nausea, and jaw clenching are a few negative side effects.
- These are some of the side effects I found for MDMA on the internet, I felt this was important to know as I want to make my actress look very realistic when it comes to taking the tablet and expierencing the good and bad side effects of this addictive drug.
Unfortunatley Ellie couldn't film with me on Sunday at her house so we decided to film the next day (Monday 10th). As Hull City Centre was more accesible this day I decided I wanted to do a few shots in town instead of filming an argument with her mother as she was busy. This shoot is now planned for the 16th of December.
Locations I used- back of station, Queens gardens, station itself and on a stagecoach bus.
Props- parker jacket, fingerless gloves, hat, cigareetes, lighter, paracetamol, money, red lipstick and eyeliner.
Actors- Jessica and Ellie
Yesterday I used a range of different shots in my chosen locations such as medium close ups, point of view shots and long shots. I believe to make a good and exciting music video you have to keep the audience entertained and changing shots frequently is the way to do it. Ellie once again was fantasticly paitent with re shooting a lot of the shots to make sure they were good enough for my first edit. Problems we faced included the cold although we was both wrapped up and prepared for it. Another problem was that the shot I wanted on the bus of Ellie (legs on the seat) I believe isn't good enough as it's too light so therefore I'll reshoot this at a later date. Overall though I felt the day went very well as we had all our props ready the day before.
<-- This is Jessica Parker, a homless woman I paid a small amount to be in my video. Her part in my music video was to be a dealer for Ellie and exchange extacy (paracetomal) for money. I think this shot went well as the location (back of station) created a lot of natural light. Jessica was very proffesional and played her part well. She also gave consent for me to publish images and footage of her on the internet.
The clothing she wore also helped to create the illusion of her being a stereotypical dealer with the hoodie, hat and can in her hand.
The next shoot I am planning will be this Sunday. I am planning to get out of this shoot atleast 10 more seconds of footage at Ellies home of her arguining with her mother other the table. Then I plan to get some footage of ellie travelling on a bus into the city centre where the main storyline shall begin. Today (07/12/2012) I have created more model release forms as her mother will have to sign one. Hopefully the shoot will go smoothly with no complications although I will go ahead no matter the weather.
This Personal
Release form i have made is a simple contract that gives me legal permission as
a filmmaker to use the footage of the actor in my film, to edit it and to
publish the video online.
