Chandler and I were in charge of directing this scene while Jasmine vlogged the process. We filmed outside in Jasmine's garden, she hadn't cut the grass or cleaned the debris (twigs and vines) so it looked gritty and abandoned.

It was quite cold on this day so we made sure to refill the bucket with warm water on a regular basis  so that Filip would not freeze his face when Chantelle dunked his head in. We directed Chantelle to tug Filip's hair and to push his head into the bucket and pull it out; Chandler tilted the camera downwards and upwards to track the motion. Before we filmed this, we made sure Filip was satisfied with the script. During filming I stood behind Chandler with a towel ready in hand to dry Filip's hair.

To make the torturing scene seem even more authentic, we made sure Filip blew some air into the bucket to produce bubbles to show a struggle. We purposefully intended to speed up the footage during editing so the original footage is slower than what it will actually look like in the trailer.
