production post #2

 Friday was a success. I was able to film the rest of the scenes for the "composing the song" scene. We were able to record quickly and efficiently. I think putting the clips together as we filmed gave me some clarity of what I should shoot next. It also made me think about matching up the clips to make it seems like all one scene. I also was able to record some foley sounds since a lot of the clips had to be music. There was a consistent "white noise" that would separate the clips. 

Anyways, today is Sunday and al my actors and I just got back from the beach. It was intended to get to the beach before sunrise to catch the sun coming up while filming. Despite waking up at 4 AM, it was hard gathering all the actors and making sure they were awake too. Most of them took an extra 20 minutes to get in my car which just piled up the time. We did not catch the sunrise, the sun was up when we got there. But, I really wanted those pretty colors in the sky so I decided to shoot during sunset. 



Just as we were about to pack up our stuff and head to the car, we realized there was an event happening in ft Lauderdale. On the street I was supposed to drive through, multiple sports cars speeding through come rushing in large group. This went on for about 45 minutes and by the time It was safe to drive, nighttime had crept up to us. But, we had already drove all this way so we might as well film. The lighting was dim, and the camera angle was far too low. I forgot to consider the height of the filming device which ended up being an issue. You can only see half the drivers face and the whole back seat was blending in with the night. This weekend I'm going to reshoot, but who knows, maybe the original clip wasn't too bad. Take a look!
