Today Jasmine and James took turns to film while Chandler advised them and vlogged behind the scenes. I assumed the role of Aiko, Kaya's bestfriend. 

I was instructed to listen to Kaya and encourage her to do as she pleases, prompting her to talk about her brother. 

This scene took a few takes to get right because we had a specific idea of the tone in which Chantelle says certain lines. The close up of clinking the glasses was also a meticulous process because Chantelle and I had to make sure to be in line with the camera. However, we eventually got the perfect shot. :)
