Finally Filming

 Today I finally started to film!! After several days dedicated to planning and perfecting, the filming process felt like light work. The only part that was a small challenge was being on both sides of the camera while only physically being on one. I had to explain every angle of every shot and what movements to make to the person filming for me. This meant we had to take lots of practice shots and takes until it was exactly how I wanted it. I had the other person take a picture of this process.

 

I also ran into an issue because when I wanted to start filming in the morning, the sun hadn’t come through the window enough to create good lighting, so I had to wait until later in the morning/afternoon. The window isn’t very large so we only had limited time to film all of the scenes which definitely added to the stress factor.

 

However, having everything planned out and story- boarded before hand really helped and it was just one less thing to have to worry about. I still have to film two short scenes in the gym but I have to wait until one day that I can go once it’s so can have it to myself. I’m not sure if I mentioned before but my family owns a gym so it will be easy to access it whenever I need to. 

 

I still plan to put all the footage I got into a project and begin editing so I can just add in whatever I need to at the end. I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of this project I’m so excited to see the finished product!!!
