Day 2 of Shooting

            

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ 2nd Filming Day ‧₊˚✩彡 
            

Welcome back, everyone! We are finally on to the 2ND filming blog!

Today, I will be talking about what we did on day 2 of shooting:

 Shooting

        On day 2 of filming, we finished the rest of the scenes for the project. The second half of the film takes place in a shady parking lot, so obviously we had to go to a shady parking lot to film at night. Scheduling a time and place where everyone could meet up was sort of tricky, but we made it work out as we just decided on going to our local Target to film at around 6-7 PM. All we had to do was film the scene where Ivy goes to meet up with Kevin and Stuart and gets kidnapped by the camera (as we never clearly see what the antagonists look like). Nevertheless, even though ONLY really Ivy shows up in the footage, everyone went to film in order to help out with filming the scenes as this is a group project.

Challenges

       One of the challenges we encountered while filming was that our tripod suddenly broke right when we were about to film the stuff for day 2, so we had to improvise with a phone holder. This leads to the camera quality being less stable in the second half of the film, but that works fine for us as this is supposed to be the scary part so the handheld more natural feel is perfect for the eerie atmosphere we want to create. Furthermore, since we were in a public space, there were quite a few cars that passed by while filming which was annoying as we had to wait until they were gone so we could resume working on the project. This led to MANY interruptions and some uncontrollable sounds in the footage that had to be removed during editing. ON top of that, the lighting (I mentioned this in the lighting blog too) was too bright, but we worked with what we had and completed filming! Overall, I am happy with our final result, and I cannot wait for you all to see it when it is done.
