Filming Blog: Initial Shoot

     Today, my group finally got together and began to film. We left after school and drove to Nyaira's house. We were planning to film the two date scenes and some car scenes. We all prepared the night before with packing out outfits and props required. Nyaira was already at her house waiting while the rest of us made our way over there. It was difficult to find the address which deducted some of our ample filming time.
     We went inside the house and had a brief meeting regarding the timing and goals for today. We also reviewed the storyboard for shot references. Us girls began with changing into our appropriate costumes. The boys then set up all tech equipment and adjusted lighting and background.
     The first scene that we taped was a scene between Preace and Nyaira. They began with a wide shot where Preace picks up Nyaira from her house to go on a date. Angles were hard to position in this scene in order to fit everyone into a shot. After much trial and error, we got a couple usable shots. We were thinking we could edit between multiple angles/shots so the story looks consistent. Next, we filmed Anjun and I's date scene. Overall we filmed a good chunk of our movie. We attempted to film all the scenes that need daytime lighting. We will need to meet up again in the future to film the remaining scenes at nighttime. We will try to begin editing once we transfer some of the footage from SD card to computer.
