A further situation occurred when Steve went to collect photos for a scene that depicts Martin’s character Peters buying pills from a youth. The attendant told him that there had been a printer issue and made a phone call. Suddenly the Manager and Assistant manager of the supermarket arrived accompanied by a police officer and Steve had some explaining to do.
As far as my performances goes I felt totally focused and enjoyed every minute. Working with Dan, Martin and Rob was a treat and I think the camaraderie off screen will come across nice on screen.

I received the DVD of Disrepute over the weekend and so I got to see it for the first time last night. Hmm, not so sure about being totally focused especially on the shoot outside the police station; it was absolutely freezing! Overall I think the short is fantastic and there are some great performances. Although I feel my performance was fine I know I can do a lot better. I certainly learnt loads from the Disrepute shoot, much of which I have applied subsequently, but I would say the thing I learnt most was focus - being in the scene at all times. I don’t believe I was on it 100% of the time, which there is absolutely no excuse for (no matter how bloody cold it is), but that’s something to work on and my concentration levels do improve each time I do this sort of thing.
