Filming blog: The process of filming the final task

 I have finally filmed! For the most part, filming was a pleasant experience. A bit nerve wrecking, but rewarding in the end. I was lucky to have been able to film everything in one day. So that relieved some stress that I was feeling. The night before, we made sure everything was in order as far as costumes and ect., so that also relieved some stress. During the actual filming, me and my friends both had a fun time recording and finding ways to spruce up the angles I recorded them in. While it took us a few hours to film, it felt like only a few minutes since we enjoyed the process of it. Filming someone else instead of myself was also comforting. Also, I my friends did an good job of taking a backseat and listening to everything I asked of them while filming so that I could best portray my ideas. Naturally, they put their own spin of things in the acting part. However, I did have to tweak some ideas while filming so that we could have the best look in the end product. I also wanted to make sure that I had enough takes of every scene. Mostly, because I wanted to make sure I had enough takes so that my video reached the time requirement. Secondly, I wanted to reach the filming requirements (angles, movements, etc.). This being the case, we were able to do multiple shots from different angles. I decided that this would be he best idea I the long run, for editing, since I would have different options. As well as a chance to edit as fluidly as possible.  With the patience of  us both and my friend lending me her phone so that I could shoot some shots, we finished rather quickly. After dumping all the new footage onto my computer, I hope for smooth sailing when I get deep into the editing process.

See you in the next one!
