 Production Post Speaking on Props

    The main prop we used for the first day of filming, to film the bar scene was this empty bottle of Tequila that my parents had lying around. So, my group and I cleaned it, and filled it with apple juice as that was what we were using to recreate alcohol. In one of the shots in the scene, the bartender opens the bottle and pours the main character another drink, so the prop comes in very handy, and I think just adds and an extra hint of realism to the opening. Furthermore, we chose apple juice as it has a similar tint to a glass of whiskey, and especially with the lighting that the bar features, the golden brownness of the apple looks even more like that of a glass of whiskey on the rocks.

  

    The link shown features a funny fail from the shooting of the bar scene, where I (portraying the main character) try to take a sip out of the glass filled with apple juice (supposed to be whiskey) and a cube of ice somehow comes flowing out of the glass. Moments like these are nice because they provide a laugh break from the seriousness of filming and planning, and really make the whole process enjoyable. There were many more moments like this that took place during the first day of filming, this one is just my favorite.
