Production- Filming Day 2

After months of planning our film's opening, we are finally getting closer to the end. Today, my group and I met up at our final spot to shoot scenes 2 and 3. Today was definitely a longer production day because we had to go too 2 different places and they were longer than the first scene.

Planning our production day:

This week, we sent out the final script to the actors so that they could have it memorized and also reflect on the storyboards. Before we filmed, we made sure everyone knew the time, location, and the schedule we had to follow. We ran into a slight problem because we had to switch the camera we originally planned on filming with. At the last minute, we had to ask our teacher if we could check out a camera and use it to film. Luckily, we were able to check out her camera, and it got the job done. The camera we switched to was a Canon EOS Rebel T7. Since we had to switch cameras, we also weren't able to access the mics that would work with it. We had to resort to using a recording device that we will have to import during the editing process. Despite these contingencies, we were able to make our production work and are overall happy with how it went.

Shot outcomes:

While filming, we did struggle a bit to stabilize the shots since we did not have a tripod. Even though this did mean we had to do some shots multiple times, it didn't affect us too much. These are some pictures we took while filming:




After filming and importing the videos into our computer device, these were the outcomes of the shots that we took:

Reflection: 

Although we are sad that filming has come to an end, we are now ready to begin editing our film. We will need to apply things like color grading and audio to our film, so we cannot wait to see what the finalized film actually looks like. We are so relieved we were able to get over our challenges and situations like this, and put into perspective what possible issues could appear for directors and actors. Make sure to stay tuned in for more updates!
