The Pool:
It was really cold, this scene we had to do quick because it was at night and like 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside, not to mention Leanette was in bikini and in the water. I discarded this scene though because the drowning was too short and I couldn’t match it up to its phone call that we recorded separately. We had one take for this, because we were filming at Victoria’s aunt’s house (we changed location from Leanette’s grandma’s house to Victoria’s aunt’s house) and her aunt was and her mom were ushering us to hurry up, so we couldn’t do another take. I also was whispering because, anyways, there was going to be a phone call overlapping the video.
I was laying on the ground trying to get a good shot of Leanette so that it wasn’t a high angle shot, but Victoria’s aunt and her mom were standing around me like I was going to harm her if I didn’t finish in like 10 seconds. I didn’t get a chance to listen to the phone call and remember the cues to when Victoria was supposed to drown Leanette. Additionally, I discarded this clip because after Britney put the phone down, you could see the side of Leanette’s face, which doesn’t match with the audio overlay because she’s talking on the phone (that’s from the 2000s-ish) and you can see her mouth isn’t moving. Finally, when she’s actually drowning, she’s under the water for like 3 seconds. That’s not enough, and as soon as she was done with those 3 seconds, she came immediately back up instead of lingering a bit under water or just floating facing down so that it seemed like she actually drowned. It’s a shame we couldn’t use this, the pool was really pretty.
