Production Blog: Fun in filming!

Hello guys, 

There have been a few updates on my final task since the last time I uploaded a blog. First things first, we began our first official day of filming yesterday. The whole crew went over to Giovanna's house ready and prepared and we began officially filming. I started with the scenes that required me, the techie, to film due to tight schedules. So we went to Target, prepared the basket with daily items, and went into the chips aisle. This scene was one of the harder scenes to film due to being in a public space and the genuine shoppers that were not supposed to be in my film. Another factor that made this scene more difficult was the script. Daniel, the little brother character, could not focus and get into character which made the filming time increase. After the target scene, the crew went back to Giovanna's house to finish filming as much as we could. Once the crew got there we finished filming the scenes that surround the Target scenes. Such as the outside car scene with Spooky, The Little Brother, and The Big Sister. Afterward, I began filming the starting scenes with the whole cast. I began angling, adjusting, and setting up the camera while also telling the cast where to stand/sit. Along with telling the cast what to do, say, or look like. After filming these scenes the crew began getting tired but pushed through and I did as much as I could to wrap up the filming. During this phase of tiredness, I filmed most of the ending scenes which consisted of the reveal for the film. Though I did not finish filming all of the scenes, I got a majority of the scenes done and am going to finish up the filming another day. Overall I was very productive and personally believe that my final task will turn out very well. I am very excited for you guys to see my final outcome! Until next time!
