Courtneys Shots- Production Blog

 Today the Goal was to film Camilles scenes.. I went over after school to assist her in filming some of the scenes. When I got to her house, she went to change into her scene clothes. She was dressed in a bright pink top and jeans. We began with her walking through the front door of my house. I filmed me as she walked in through the front door. Because it was just her in this scene, she didn't have much lines. Me and Camille filmed the remaining shots for the scene of just her. Because she didn't have much dialogue, she had to make sure that her facial expressions were appropriate so that the audience could understand what was going on in the scene. These scenes were not difficult to film since I have prior experience to filming scenes like this. The most difficult part of this process, in my opinion, was determining the proper angle. I first wanted to do an over the shoulder shot. We also had to figure out how to make the embarrassing photo appear to be from a website or something similar in order for it to appear realistic. It took us a couple of minutes to figure this out, but we did. We decided to show close-ups of me researching Macie, and eventually Courtney finds a picture of her. The way we filmed the shot worked out, and the different angles made it look exactly like I imagined. It didn't take long to film because there were only a few scenes. Camille also had something scheduled for five o'clock, so I couldn't film for too long. I returned to my house after filming all of the shots required. Camille had to go to work so she couldn't send me the videos. She said she would edit and crop anything unnecessary from the video. I feel so accomplished that we finished Camilles scenes. Now we just have to do mine. Next up is editing.
