Production Days are Complete!

     My group and I finished our production! We filmed this week week and finished all our scenes. Our production schedule has been going to plan so far for the most part. Except for a few unexpected changes that had to be made recently. In one of my previous blogs, I talked about getting a film camera from my school to use for filming. The plan was to get a camera, so that we could film some of our scenes without difficulty. But this plan soon changed. These scenes involve different angles such as Dutch and tracking shots. We thought that with a professional camera (instead of a phone) these angles would be a lot easier to achieve. But, while we were waiting for the opportunity to get a camera we chose to film other scenes. We filmed these scenes on an iPhone. After a day of filming with the phone, we realized that it is possible for us to film in any angle without a camera!

    So, we ended up filming every scene! Our friend Taylee was the main character in our film. I was the director and directed Macy, Sam, and Taylee in the scenes. We had to figure out their lines in some scenes. But, for the most part, the lines were just what we felt most natural to say. So, it was not much of an issue in the end. We also made sure to film some scenes that left enough space for title cards. When we finished the whole thing, we all went to Starbucks for celebratory drinks to celebrate our completion!
