Over the past couple of weeks Casey and I have been working hard and relentlessly to get our scripts refined. After getting everything we wanted written into them we then had to shorten them down and make the dialogue more punchy.
Because we are putting ourselves and our presenter out there as a voice to give advice to students we have to make sure that advice is reliable and accurate so we did some research.
For hangover cures we simply did a google search and took the points that were recurrent in all our findings. Including things like darker drinks get you more drunk (in a bad way) and will worsen your hangover, Drinking fizzy drinks alongside alcohol will worsen your hangover and awful drunkeness because they make the alcohol more easily absorbed. And certain pain killers (for headaches not prescription as you shouldn't drink alcohol when on prescribed painkillers) can have adverse affects. Such as aspirin is a blood thinner, as is alcohol, so can worsen a hangover.
For saftey on a night out we had a look at the advice on Police websites. They recommended always making sure you organize a way home before you go out. They also recommended keeping your valubles spread out across your body. Phone in pocket, purse in bag, money in bra or pants etc so if your bag is snatched or lost, you haven't lost everything. There were also the normal things like watch your drinks and don't walk home alone or wander off.
We managed to get our scripts to a point where we are really happy and now really looking forward to getting on with the shoot.
