As the director, I provided the camera and props. My actor used their own wardrobe in each scene. The actor and I already previously owned the Contigo bottle; therefore, we used our own. The work scene worked perfectly as it was in a controlled environment. In the work scene, my actor wore clothes representative of those worn in work environments. The exercise scene proved to be the most difficult due to the uncontrolled extraneous variable's of the environment. The wind caused unwanted noise along with the sun troubling the cameras exposure. The actor worn self owned clothes representative of physical activity. This scene took about 20 minutes in total to shoot. The home scene was the easiest in my opinion. It was a quick shoot that would be explained through voice over editing. The kitchen scene, proved to be difficu...
