Production- Day 2 filming therapist scene

 Intro

After being done with day 1 of filming some time passed before we all had the time to go film the rest of out film. After like 2 weeks we were able to finally go to the library to shoot the therapist scene. This scene contained more dialogue between characters which meant that it would take up more time ; additionally, we were running on the library's time because they closed at 6 and we started filming around 5:20.

Shooting 

First shot of the library scene is a jump cut from our main character closing the door to the therapist closing his binder. 

After that it cuts to the therapist asking the main character about what she is seeing and going through. He does this a face of confusion and not understanding the main character , even though that's his job; he is clueless. The camera is just showing the almost empty binder which can say a lot about the therapist character.

Our main character is seen lost in her thoughts , trying to find an "answer" to her problem. However quickly she realizes that she's wasting her time with this therapist. The camera techniques here are just static shots from the side with the shot reverse shot editing technique between characters.

After that we use a two shot to show both characters talking from the side and starts showing the desperation between the two. The therapist not believing in Lilly and Lilly starting to get frustrated because the one person she is trusting is not understanding her.

Finally last one of the last shots is a POV shot of our main character getting up and storming off the session

Overview

This scene was a great experience to shoot because not only made me and Laila have to remember lines ,which all actor do. But it also shows how one character can add so much to the theme of the film. Because Dr. Fernandez is such a bad therapist, he drives Lilly insane and frustrates her due to her not finding answers to her problem. This interaction with the therapists ties to Lilly's action at the end of the film which is supposed to leave the audience in suspense.
