Except the memory parts of two sisters, the remaining part of the film will be done at home. For various reasons, I need to re-shoot indoor scenes. During the process of shooting, I ran into new problems: In the play that girl who plays elder sister because of personal problems need to back to China in 18th August, which means that if I need her re-filmed lens can not be achieved, so every shots in my film are taken 5-6 times as much as possible to avoid the situation can not be used with certain lenses. The followings are my shooting script:

During the process of filming I am very grateful to thank jolly and peng for helping my final project, because we have been shooting continued until 1:00 am. For the camera peng is very exhausting, because I often asked him to repeat the shot, and often asked him to do multi-angle shooting. Here are very grateful for their support.
