First Day of Filming

Day 1 of Filming

After school today was my first day of filming! After many scheduling issues due to extracurricular activities, we can finally got started. Since Spring break is next week, I won't be home to film and edit my film opening. This is why between today and tomorrow I need to get all of the filming done. I am so glad that tomorrow is an early release day which means that I will have extra time after school to complete the filming process.

When my friend Isabelle arrived at my house to be the actress for my film opening, I shared with her the details of my idea as well as the storyboard so she understands my vision for it. Despite previously explaining to her what she would have to do, she was definitely very nervous about it. She is a pretty outgoing person but it was very out of her comfort zone to do acting. I had to take a lot of time to reassure her that no matter what her acting abilities were like, it would've been ok (especially because she was my only option since everyone else refused to be in it). 

Storyboard

So during filming, we followed my storyboard but also added some scenes as well. I was definitely really nervous throughout filming that I wouldn't have enough scenes to meet the two minutes, but I ended up having much more. We filmed for about two hours today and we get a lot done. It was super fun to get to bring my ideas to life and we shared a lot of laughs while filming. I am super happy with where the film opening is going and I am excited to finish the production process tomorrow! Here's some sneak peeks of the scenes we filmed today...
