Filming Blog-- Continuation



    This filming process took place about a week before the peer review. I decided I needed more footage for my film, as the entire project needed to be 2 minutes long. Therefore, I filmed with my costar. We went back to the park that we originally shot a scene at. Due to strong winds, I decided I should get plenty of film, as I could choose what footage to use during the editing process. The first time we filmed there, winds were strong and the wind made it so dialogue could not be heard in certain scenes. Additionally, I asked that we film a couple scenes towards the end of the movie at my supporting actors house, as this is originally where we planned on filming some of the scenes. These scenes were easy to film, as they took place inside. The house was quiet and optimal for shooting. The picture above shows us during the filming process at his house. 

    After we filmed these scenes, I decided to film some establishing shots of the house, as well as the park nearby. These were necessary to my final cut of the film, however, they were shot for my use during the editing process. Once these were filmed, I went back to my house. I needed to film the first scene in the opening sequence. This scene is important, as it sets the tone for the rest of the film. The first scene only involved me, so setting up the tripod and camera was a little difficult. However, I was able to get my brother to actually help me in setting up everything. Once that scene was filmed, I needed to wait until nightfall to shoot the last few scenes. This day of filming was definitely successful, to say the least. I decided my next step was to begin editing these scenes. That puts me to the last blog, which explains the editing process.
