Today’s shoot was a couple of firsts for me.
First, I almost went topless. Aye, I think I would have went topless for the first time if not for the director to see my state of fattiness and decide that shocking audiences with my lumps would not be good for television. But he asked me to unbutton my pajama top instead, so I guess there would still be a certain “shock” value to the scene.
So yeah, its the first time I’m partially topless on screen and its the first time I’m in my pjs on screen.
It was also my first time crying on cue. And I don’t think I did a good job. My preparation for the scene was kinda rushed as they pushed it to be done ahead of another scene at the very last minute. And I felt really bad about it cuz I really wanted to do well for the scene. The funny thing is I know I had really gotten as much emotion as I could for the scene, judging from the effort I had to put through to recover myself for a happy scene next. I just can’t figure out what was blocking the full onset of the emotions there and then. Performance anxiety? Perhaps.
The next scene was a birthday party scene that was quite different from what was played out in the script. So in the end, I got a surprise screen kiss, which was also my first screen kiss. It wasn’t the passionate kind, it was more of the bashful peck kind. And yeah, I guess I was kinda bashful about it initially, which resulted in a few takes cuz the director felt our chemistry wasn’t warm enough. So for the record, I did not purposely force the extra takes hor! 😛
