1st day of filming

The first day of filming was somewhat successful as we filmed the first scene in our film opening but we had some issues and some changes in ideas with each take.

Overall we only filmed one scene taking me and my actors about an hour in total with many different takes and things being added. My actors are all best friends with each other so the relationship they had helped me film as they seemed to be more genuine with each other and not just acting. The scene included a stunt in which one character falls and the actor that played that character was really into the part and took many falls one after the other.

One of our main issues with the filming was once again our sound quality. Our sound wasn’t horrible but we ended up having to move locations due to lawn work being done right where we were filming. This ended up helping us though as we found a better location for our scene and we were much more happy with it. Moving to the other location helped us as we could capture both of our actors in the shot at a time.

This photo is from our original location and I just wasn’t as happy with the placement of actors as I believe they aren’t is to forced trying to get them both in the shot.

This photo is our second location. It was much easier to get both our actors in and we zoomed into the character on the far right for his lines so the camera wasn’t to far away.

Overall the first day of filming was a success as we got the shots we needed in a short amount of time but we might go back for reshoots as the even might’ve been a little to long.
