Production Post #2

     Filming day was kind of chaotic, we got distracted a lot and I couldn't get into character many times because we kept laughing, but it was fun. I think every time we film we always get distracted some how.

     The last project, which was our music video project, instead of getting started right away when everyone got there. We had a conversation for an hour and then went to McDonalds!! Which was kind of perfect because we got pictures for our band's Instagram and Tiktok. Unfortunately this was not the only time we got distracted for a long time. Well I guess the next time it wasn't distraction. We needed the sky to be dark since the setting was a party and we still had an hour or two before the sun would start setting, so we watched Camp Rock and ate cupcakes while we waited! I can't believe that was all the way in December. It felt like we just filmed two weeks ago..

    Before we started filming the character scenes, we had to take care of the credits, which were pretty easy to do. We just stood there holding the camera as still as possible to capture 10 seconds of the clip. We did this 3 times, once for the lotter tickets, the dishes, which you can see below, and the clothes on the couch.

    I think this was during the part where it was a close up of Alea's face staring at the TV, which you might not see in the final product because it was kind of bad and awkward to look at. Here you can see how easily distracted we get while filming. I forgot what we said before this, but I know this was our 2nd or 3rd take and my partner, who is filming me, the character said something to make me smile and I couldn't get serious after that. BTW the person filming the behind the scenes is my partners sister.

    This is a clip of us actually filming, without being distracted for once. This was the over the shoulder shot of Alea reading what was inside the red envelope. It was going to be the shot we were going to use... but then my partner's sister started talking to the camera telling us the date and what we were doing, she didn't know we were filming so we had to start again. She did this many times throughout the day that my partner had to start saying "We are filming" to let her know when to not talk. It was hilarious!!
