As we have not enough footage (from different location), we had to conduct another shoot demonstrating Caroline Pope's general communication session. Therefore we had Esther's friends and their dog, JR to participate in the documentary as Caroline's 'client'.
We met up at the campus, took all the equipments and double checked them before we left for the shoot. Testing out and checking the equipments is so important because we have undoubtedly learned our lesson from the first shoot.
After making sure all equipments work well, we departed to Ron (client)'s house by tram. Traveling with equipments on public transport was really attention-grabbing. I felt thousands of glances around us especially when we were on tram. On our way to the shooting location, we observed to see if there is any parking around the apartment, just to make sure Caroline would be satisfied with the parking issue.
Then when we arrived at the client's apartment, as Esther was buzzing, I saw a familiar face standing by the entrance staring at us. It immediately hit me that it was Caroline! If it wasn't because of the log and capture process, which made me watched her for so many times, I wouldn't recognize her at that point of time. We were pretty shocked that she arrived earlier than us and that she managed to find a cheap parking (and not making a big fuss about parking issue).
The shoot went pretty well and we even did a communication session with Esther's dead dog, Bailey. It was amazing how she seems to be able to communicate telepathically and tell us some facts about Bailey and JR. However, not all of our group members believe in whatever she said. For example, Leo thought that all the things Caroline said was just assumptions and general knowledge (seeing that Caroline was a vet nurse before she went into the communication industry) while Esther believes that some part of it is true. The client, on the other hand, seemed to be amazed by her telepathic communication skills, even though he still has some doubt.
I personally thought that regardless the legitimacy of her words, her character is interesting enough to grab the audiences' attention and to make a great documentary!
