The first second filming day

 Hey blog. Yesterday we proceeded with our second day of filming. We met up at Sarah's apartment at around 5 o'clock once again. I rode with Sarah and Brayden rode in his car. I instructed Brayden to tail Sarah. On the way to the park we filmed the scene of Brayden's car following Sarah's car on a turn. The scene looked amazing. The headlight pooping up on the turn added great dramatic effect. When we arrived at the park we shot a scene from two perspectives. One from Sarah ( the abductee) and Brayden (the abductor).  I instructed Brayden to stay in his car as I filmed the first perspective to Sarah. The first shot at the park is Sarah starting to run. I then go into Brayden's car  and instruct Sarah to run through telephone. Sarah had her air pod in so we could communicate without her having to hold her phone. Utilizing technology to our advantage. I then instruct Brayden to follow Sarah as she ran. The climatic point of the film was approaching where i then take another angle behind a tree. I film Brayden stopping his car and getting out where he gets out and proceeds with the abduction. I will have to edit the screen going black as the shot is pretty humorous considering no one was actually harmed during the film (obviously). The next shot is Brayden lifting Sarah up and putting her in the trunk. With the hazard lights on, Brayden gets in the car and drives away. All shot horizontally the film looks great and was a success. After shooting we grabbed some drinks at a local boba spot. Giving a sweet ending to a rather sour film. I am very happy about the outcome and was grateful to do it with people I have a deep bond with.

Massive mistake rescheduling needed

Image
 Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...
