Set Up

 I have two people helping me film tomorrow. So today I started setting up to film to make tomorrow’s process easier. I got the ring light, so I had to set that up. I wanted to put it somewhere that would be in the shot of Stella on the bed without it looking like it was awkwardly placed there.

 I also had to test out different lightings and see if I was going to use the natural light or if I needed to produce my own lighting. The natural lighting ended up looking nice and didn’t take away from the professional quality so I decided to use that. 

The last thing I needed to do to set up is create an account for my character so that I can have her looking at the comments on her video. I created a YouTube channel since that would be the easiest platform to see comments on her laptop. I also needed to create a project in my editing software to have her toggle onto during the opening.

 Once all of this was done I laid out the outfits that best matched the mood boards I previously created. I’m so excited to begin the filming process, especially because I feel like the prep for this step has been forever long!
