Filming Blog: Back on Track

We finally got a day where we all could meet up. It was a hassle, but we cleared up our schedule to get this done. The whole redo of us trying to re-record the scenes has us a bit annoyed. But we all knew that we had to follow through with this plan. Since we are reaching the end of the filming process. We are all enjoying each other company as we don't know when we can meet up after this. We are all so busy and whenever we meet up to record it is always so relaxing to be with them. They have a certain energy where it just comes naturally whenever we record and I enjoy it. But the filming that we are doing is within the house. We started by filming a bird's eye view over a box with a flicking light over it. This process took us a while for one simple reason. We couldn't find a way to get the birds-eye view without getting ourselves in the shot. Our shadows kept getting in the frame and it was noticeable to the point where your eyes kept looking at it without realizing. As a result, we end up finding a ladder and using it to get the shot. With the use of the ladder, the shot came out how we hoped for. The following shots after that were super straightforward and simple to record. There were a couple scenes where we recorded outside with the proper lighting coming through for us. The scenes inside were overall really simple and the easiest to record so far. The establishing shot we had in front of the house was the only shot that was also easy. Overall I feel confident with the shots we got done and I'm pretty excited to get this back on track.
