Dealing With Illegal Substances

We couldn't make our cast take actual drugs or drink real Vodka when we needed them to be sober and for filming and so we decided that instead. In terms of drugs - In our video, in place of illegal drugs, Orrin can be seen flushing ibuprofen wrapped in a receipt, this alludes to it being the real thing and so works well as a prop. In terms of alcohol, rather than forcing Orrin to drink a 35cl of Tesco's cheapest Vodka, we in fact found an empty bottle and filled it with water which he then drank from, giving the appearance of Vodka with it being a clear liquid without making him drunk in any shape or form. For the smoking scenes, instead of making Orrin and Laura smoke a joint containing illegal substances, we instead used a rolled-up piece of paper which we then lit up, at no point did he actual inhale or smoke any illegal substances.

Here is the proof that this is what we did.
