Upon returning for the second week I met with class mate and regular collaborator Nali Raouf who invited me to work with him on his project, centring around self exceptance and body image. I felt this was a good project for me to join as I related on a personal level with my own weight loss and gain. I saw people's ideas of the "Perfect Body" as a marketing scheme to sell gym memberships, equipment and protein supplements, and it was freeing to realise this and live how you are comfortable, rather than how the world tells you to.
Filming this presented new challenges as we were working with an outside actor, who had to be given his likes on the day and did not understand basic film making laws about continuity and framing. There fore we needed a lot more on set patiences to brief him and make sure he fully understood mine and Nali's direction and his own lines. Overall I believe we did this well and got a strong performance from him.
We did not do a crit for this film, however feedback from our fellow class mates were general but positive.
