Hey guys! So today technically was our first day of filming???
In reality, today was NOT our first day of filming... I'll go more in-depth in another blog post, but we truly began filming on Thursday. We had stayed after school to film all of the in-school scenes, and this is how it went!Our very talented background actors! |
Focusing our shots on Mariana and Isabel went pretty smoothly! Having the storyboard handy helped so much and made the process go faster. One small issue that we had was that our girls had to learn the script right then and there, so they had some trouble with that. Nevertheless, they did a great job of memorizing the script, and they both absorbed the characters. We had asked some of our people to stay behind to just linger in the hallways for continuity's sake! Enjoy this silly video of Mariana forgetting her lines.
With our production, we are planning to have a lot of match cuts for editing, so that was a bit hard, but I'm sure that I'll be able to figure it out during the editing process! During filming, we had to make sure that we were all in the same spot so our match cuts would come out as seamlessly as possible.

Mariana and Isabel being upset over the band |
Due to the time and location that we were filming in, we faced a LOT of distractions. Since we were filming in a hallway near the band room, you can HEAR the band rehearsing in the back. It was honestly so funny. It was frustrating because we just wanted to get it done, but it wasnt too bad. If they do end up popping up in our video, we're just gonna have Mariana and Isabel record their lines and we just dub their voices.
Filming our scene at school didn't take as long as we anticpated thankfully. Isabella and I work very well together. Today we mainly split the work and I was doing all of the cinematography while she was being the director! I find that we are definitely more efficent this way and were very good at communicating with each other and our actors.But straight after we finihsed, we drove to Lauren's house to film in her room! Stay tuned for the next blog post with more in depth commentary for the rest of our filming journey!
