Hi, today we will be discussing day 2 of filming our project. Before we actually began filming, we noticed a problem in our film which was going to have to be fixed. Our actor for our main character, when filming on day 1 had a different hairstyle then day 2. We debated on whether we should refilm or not, but nonetheless the shots we filmed on day 1 were all close ups, so if we didn't refilm it'd be noticeable that her hair changed. We decided on refilming those shots the next time we filmed or if we had time before the sun had set as we were filming after school and losing daylight.
For day 2, we decided to film the outside shots as that was what we already had planned to film. We had 3 main things to film this day: the car pulling up and Jonathan getting out, Jasmine and Jonathan's dialogue, and Jonathan killing Jasmine. One of our biggest issues on this day was time. After we solved the hair problem, we had to move the cars out my yard, Jasmine and Jonathan both had to get ready, and we had already wasted an hour on doing all of that. Once we finally got outside, we had a different problem. Acting. Since we are not professionals, our actors had to work with us directing them and attempting to portray what were saying without knowing what they look like from an outside perspective. We filmed Jasmine running outside the house about 5 times because each time something in her body language looked off. This film-redirect-refilm sequence happened multiple times throughout the rest of the shoot as both Jonathan and Jasmine are now acting and both needed assistance. It even got to a point where me and Jonnele had to act out what we wanted the shot to look like so that they could have a visual reference. By the time the sun set we got up until he kills her so we just stopped filming.
Thank you for reading today's blog and I hope you enjoyed.
