Backseat Difficulties-Filming Blog

As I stated previously, I was the one who recorded the film. Adding one more person (Addison) not including Sean’s dad to the cast and characters. This person was Addison. Due to there being so much people, filming the car scene was a little difficult. Thankfully Seans dad has a minivan. This minivan has multiple seats however it is still crammed when you are trying to film a video. Some issues I had with filming were trying to get everyone in the frame. This is because Beckett was on the left side and Sean was on the right side but there needed to be space in the middle so that Addison driving could be seen clearly. Although I do have experience with filming this was still tricky. However, with some adjustments that were made, I figured it out by using a wider angle with the phone. Another issue I had while filming was mother nature taking a toll. When we were filming there was great weather however it was windy. As most people know when wind hits the speaker of a phone it makes a disturbing noise. With this Windy weather some dialogue was cut out . For example in some clips Addison would be talking however the wind would cut her off because it was louder. Or Sean would be looking in a different direction of the camera and since he’s not facing the camera it be hard to hear him.  However last class we figured out a solution to this. What we will end up doing is we will record voice overs to match the scenes. then I will use my iMovie app to insert the voice overs. We will record the voice overs outside so that it matches the scenery of the original film and clip.
