Hello! I hope everyone is doing great. I am making this post to tell you guys about how our first day of filming went on our day 2! So as you know, my group and I were able to successfully film scene one last weekend where we did the scary shower scenes of our opening. Though we were not bale to film all in one day, we filmed this week to wrap it all up.
This week we filmed the other half of our opening which was the scene of Betty getting ready in her room and then meeting our other two characters, August and James in the car to talk about where they are headed and the plans they have. This is where we really wanted to reflect how happy they are and the level of comfort between them. They are best friends after all. This scene comes after the black screen saying "four days prior". The actual filming of the scene was really funny because our three actors our best friends and real life so it took them a second to keep themselves from laughing but before long, we were able to successfully film the scene.
We filmed it from two different angles. I was in the trunk filming from the back left corner and Larissa was filming through the window of the drivers seat. We made sure to follow the 180 rule when doing this! The purpose of filming from two angles at one was to ensure that the dialogue was as natural as possible and to strengthen the flow of the scene as a whole. Re-filming certain lines from different angles can make it seem abrupt which is the opposite of what we wanted. Much of the dialogue actually was enhanced with a little improv and some stutters to seem more natural as well! If you guys are interested, I will be posting more about this day so stay tuned!
Overall, filming went great! We are so excited for what comes next in the editing stage! Stay tuned for more and happy reading :)
