Production Blog: First Day Filming

Our filming day was on Sunday, March 7. The day began with some complications. I had-ordered some lenses to place on our phones whilst filming. These lenses would provide better resolution, resulting in a better quality video. The issue was that was that the lenses came a bit later than scheduled. I had to go out to different stores to find these lenses, as well as a microphone. I drove with my mother to two Five Below’s. We also went to a Best Buy and a Walmart. None of these locations had these items on stock. Ultimately, I ended up going to our filming location anyways. My group mater were already there. They said they would look for the items at their store. They only bought the microphone and a small stand that came with it. When I got to our filming location, we began preparing not too long after. My group member, Keren Casseus (KC), starting doing our makeup. While she was doing that, we were all trying to plan the day. After she finished, we changed into our wardrobe and began filming the inside takes. We filmed the few scenes we did with a high setting on the phone's camera lens. During those filming scenes, my group and I bounced off many ideas regarding camera angles and, overall, how we should do the scenes. Even though we already had our planning done, to physically be "on set" changed our perspectives a bit.
