Macies shots- Production Blog

Camille and I filmed the school parts first because that was our biggest concern. I wanted to make sure we got those done since spring break is coming up. Since we finished the school parts we are going to focus on the solo ones. Therefore, today after school Camille came to my house. She helped me film the parts where I am getting ready for school. To start, she used a medium shot to show me waking up for school. Then we started getting Macie ready for school. Camille did a close up of me doing my make-up and picking my outfit. Our biggest challenge was the breakfast scene. We wanted to do a close-up of my mom cracking an egg into a pan, but we couldn't get it right the first couple times. So we kepted wasting eggs. But it was pretty funny. Camille also did a close up of me my phone scrolling while my mom and I were having dialogue. This was to show that I was uninterested in having the New Girl talk with my mom. We then headed downstairs to film the scene where I am walking to my car. A pan shot is used to show the parking lot. Camille sat in the backseat to get the perfect angle of me getting ready to leave my house. She did another close up to show me putting the schools directions into my GPS. The next scene she changed angles and position and sat in the passenger seat to get a side shot. To show my side profile and my serious/ blank face while driving. This was done to show Macie is not excited at all. We both had to work today. Our goal was to finish these scenes before we had to leave. Thankfully, we stayed productive and both made it to work on time. Overall, today was a very productive filming day. Camille did awesome and I'm grateful she helped me film my scenes.

 I'm collaborating on the short film with my friend Camille. I'm glad I can work with her because she's a good friend of mine, and I think we work well together.. However, making a film with only two people in the group is kind of more difficult. We should have been more cautious about our ideas for our short film because there are only two of us, and we should have considered ways to make it easier for us to film without the need for extra people. However we got lucky because we have some friends that are willing to help us with out film. And thankfully, they have some experience with film. Me an camilles friend Mya who is also on my Waterpolo team will play Emma and will also assisting with filming. Kameron, another friend of me and Camile,  will play Jacob. He was also in all of my films last year in AS level so we have some history together. Camille and I felt guilty asking them to be in our film because this time of year is extremely stressful and busy, and they also h...
