Planning

Location:
In our project, we will be meeting at Mariapaula's house to discuss how we will shoot. Most of the shooting will be done there. We will decide whether or not we want to move locations for specific scenes if necessary. We plan to shoot mostly in her kitchen and dining room. As well as the master bedroom and living room. The location is supposed to seem homey.

Health & Safety:
In one of our scenes, we plan for the woman in the relationship to make dinner for her family. Meaning that items in the scene can be prone to injure us. We will have band-aids nearby in case anybody gets accidentally cut. We will also have a phone available to call an ambulance in case anything gets really serious. Other safety measures we'll have is to be careful around the pool at her house. There also might be a scene near a fireplace, and we will have a fire extinguisher nearby in case anything gets out of hand.

Props:
Our props would have to match with the setting, and we plan on filming at my house, mostly in the kitchen. There needs to be a knife because the girlfriend is making food for her cheating boyfriend. Other kitchen supplies could work as well, like a cutting board or a pan. We also need our phones and a dinner table that is ready for food to be eaten upon. Other small details, such as plates and candles should be a nice touch for a homey feel. Some fake flowers are needed for the boyfriend, to give to his girlfriend when he gets home.

Costumes:
 My partner and I just want to have a normal couple, who are basically in their freshman year of college, and high school sweethearts. Actors have to dress this age, and the girlfriend will be at home, so the costumes would be casual. Jeans and a comfy t-shirt, or maybe an outfit that is suitable for "date night." One of the scenes will be the girlfriend looking through her phone of old pictures with her boyfriend. There are no pictures of both actors together, so there will be a photoshoot with different outfits of the couple. Overall, the costumes would not give off an elegant vibe like how the original video for the song is.
