Day 1 of Filming Blog Post #24

 First Day of Filming!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. Today, I will be talking about how our first day of filming went! I will include my experience on the first day and how I contributed. Ok lets get started...

First of all, I began testing shots and scenes to see how it would look on camera. I tried to find the best location for the film since we needed it to be dark but still visible. Amaar and I walked around the neighborhood, Riviera Isles, until we finally found the best spot. I took charge of recording since Amaar would be the main actor. I recorded from many spots and angles to see which one would look the best. It took us about an hour to get the first 30 seconds done. I think I did a good job recording these scenes with the equipment we had. 

Later on, we shot some of my scenes, such as me following Kyle in the dark. Also, I shot some more scenes of Kyle (Amaar) getting the unknown message on his phone. I had to send a message from my phone at the same time I was recording, so that was a hard task. After we shot these scenes, we started to waste time and just talk. We tried to think of where the next scene would be shot from, but we couldn't think straight. This was a very unproductive 20 minutes that could have been used for a better purpose. After this, I recorded some final scenes until we called it a day. It was getting very late, and we wanted to go to sleep. I felt like our first day of filming wasn't bad; it was just slow. We spent about 3 hours. We recorded about half the film opener, which was pretty good, but we could have done more.

These are some pictures I took from the first day, as well as the one above. I had a lot of fun on our first day and felt like I contributed a lot. My task was to film and act a little. I contributed by filming the majority of the scenes and acted in about 2 scenes.
