While planning our film, I had come up with the idea to have the stalker watching Clara through the rearview window. Clara was going to adjust her rearview mirror and catch a glimpse of the stalker but once she fixed the mirror, the stalker would be gone. Sarah and Melina really liked the idea and I was quite excited to try it and create my idea. My biggest concern was how I was going to get the angle just right without showing me or the camera. That ended up being the easiest part, I just had to move into the back seat. The hard part was finding Melina (she was playing the stalker) in the window and mirror. It was too dark to see her, it wasn't helping that she was wearing a black jacket and blended in even more. After about 20 minutes of trying different methods to get it to work (lights, Melina's face showing, backlighting her), we gave up and decided to scrap the idea. It made me pretty sad that I couldn't bring the idea to life but I am happy with everything else we filmed and it gives us more time in later scenes.
