Production post #1

 I ended up starting my filming project on wednesday to get a head start. As soon as I got home I set the stage, moved my desk, aranged my props. Look at the final set up! I filmed the first 30 seconds and I put all the clips together.

 I really wanted to make sure I was on the right track so the next day in class I asked my teacher for some feedback. I think my main issue was not diversifying the clips, I need to film from different angles. Also, one of my clips had darker lighting than the rest most likely due to the time of day so I had to reshoot that. Heres that clip before, and then after.

I made a list of everything I needed to revise just for that 30 seconds and it started to look so much better. I tried to syce the clips by ending one with a motion and beginning one with the same motion. It really made it look like one co ntinuous scene. But for now, I will shoot the rest tommorow and the beach scene on sunday. Ill save the editing for when I have all the clips together. Cant wait!

Other than that, filming took a lot longer than expected. For 30 seconds of content, it took me about 2 hours. We kept having to reshoot scenes to adjust the lighting and the angles. Also, my actor evan, thought it was funny to goof around during some shots. It was aggravating because we both were tired of shooting and he still wouldn't stop. I think it helped me understand the perspective from a director and why they kind of come off as "bossy". I had this vision for this piece and I needed Evan to understand exactly what I wanted him to do but that was easier said than done. 

Ill still give him some credit; He was very helpful in setting up the props and remaining patient. We still have about a minute left to do for this scene so hopefully we can get it done a little faster now that we have everything set up.
