Can you talk about what she ’s go through in that moment and how that bear on her journeying for the rest of the picture ?
Chloe East : In the moment when she ’s on her own ? That was probably one of the hardest changes I ’ve had . I feel like I mapped most of Paxton out and the emotions she would go through , but then it was a Modern phase angle of the film where I have to be different . It has to be different than the residue of the movie that we ’ve already shot , so that was unquestionably a struggle .
But I conceive I just internalized the actual enfeeblement and genial land I was in at that meter because I had nothing else to really pull from . Then I just started pulling from last week ’s work and just how I palpate presently , and it really did supply a different layer to it .
