Unless I can make Jessica actually cry, I have done some research into how to produce fake tears:
Fake Crying Tips
I was also able to find this, which is a great tip:
How do they cry on movies and television?
TV and film actors have the benefit of working with an entire crew of technicians and artists. Although some movie stars utilize some of the techniques mentioned above, many actors opt for an easier solution: menthol.
A menthol tear stick and menthol tear producers are tools of the film and theater trade. The stick version requires a sparse application under the eyes. The "tear producer" works as a spray. Both produce immediate results.
This is just some quick and easy research, allowing me to plan out parts of my music video and I will refer to this during a deeper planning exercise.
The theatre director Stanislavski suggests that actors use a technique called "emotional memory". Basically, you get your actor to think about an experience where they were genuinely upset and try to remember how that felt.
