This past weekend my group and I started filming for our short. We all met up at my house and planned out our first shots. We wanted to film the scenes we had together first. This is because they were first in our film anyways and incase there was an emergency where someone had to leave, we already had the shots together. The first location was the park. We also filmed these first because we liked the lighting during that time of day. It fit with the film and plot. This was also one of the few scenes outdoors. Filming outdoors has its pros and cons. This location gives the film diversity, but theres also conditions we can’t control. This includes, lighting, weather and people around us.
To continue, these scenes came to be a success, even with the little control we had. My group member, Savanna filmed most of the shots, except for hers, while Lauren and I acted. We wanted the first of our scenes to be natural and happy, because our characters are friends. So I acted with savanna and we laughed and had fake conversation. These were easy to film since there was going to be music in the background, which would mean there was no real dialogue to act out. We then worked on the speaking scenes and walking scenes. We wanted to show the girls of the film walking in separate directions to show they are walking home, but to also symbolize their life differences. We directed this by angling the camera so that an actor could be seen in the back of another ones shot. This would show them walking into that opposite direction and then switch to the background actors point of view. After these scenes it was time to move onto the individual indoor scenes.
