Hey there Cambridge!
Guess what... I began filming! I actually started with the last half of my film, since it requires both actors and the first half only requires one, which made it easier to coordinate with the actors early on.
but Ethan got sick and his voice much reflected that too. That was not going to work too well since the shots we are filming in Day 1 require dialogue. Luckily, he was much better the next day, so we filmed on Wednesday.
This weekend is supposed to be super busy with birthday parties and events filling up my whole day, while my actors had to go to work for most of their day this weekend. I was stressing over filming on time so I can stay on schedule and avoid filming during our busy weekend. I had no choice but to film on a school day. I was worried my actors won't be available after school, but they were and I am so thankful they were.
My camera quality is pretty bad, so I used Ethan's phone to film the actual the shots. His phone also has so much storage to use. Then, he airdropped the videos to my iPad so that I can move the videos to OneDrive and save for next week when I edit.
Check out the video below from filming day 1!
Reflection:
Filming Day 1 made me so much less stressed and worried over not being able to film this week. Now that we are halfway through, I was able to concentrate on this blog and the next filming day (Thursday). What really worked well was looking back at the shots after filming them, it helped me notice what was not working out with the shot and I am so glad I did that. Overall, filming went well. Despite the challenges, it all worked out nicely in the end.
Yours Truly,
Macie 💗
