Filming Blog: Looking On The Bright Side


In the previous blogs, I strictly focused on the issues we had while filming. However, in this blog I will be mentioning everything that was successful. Starting with transportation. Excluding the others who couldn’t make it, the remainder of the group had no trouble making the 30 minute drive. When everyone arrived, we wasted no time. I got my camera out and recorded the first scene, the rest was then recorded off of my group mate’s phone. While filming, there was a scene where we had to capture all of us in the film. We had no tripod, so we had to find a way around this. We plopped the camera up on a night stand, and to our disbelief the shot was filmed perfectly. Scenes 1-8 were a success, it wasn’t until the last couple of scenes where we started to have problems. 

In scene 9, we had to switch our location. We went from sitting in the living room to going to a dark moody setting. At first, we wanted to film in the bedroom, but the window’s light was shining through. Our second option was to go in the closet, but the space was too small. At this point we were hopeless and desperate. Eventually we just decided to shoot in the bathroom. I covered the toilet with a sheet so it wouldn’t be noticeable, and as for the tub we made sure that the covers show no parts. After all confirmations that our setting looked okay we began to film our last two scenes. The first scene went pretty good, but the last one was a hassle. We had to film it over and over again to make sure this one sound was perfect. 

Here’s a screenshot from one of our scenes:
