Today, we started the process of actually shooting our Portfolio Project. We are planning on continuing filming this next week. But I believe that if we stay on track just like we did today, we will not as many days as we thought.
As it was the first day, there had to be more planning than shooting. Firstly, we rearranged the set. We already knew what we wanted for Peter's room, but today we actually had to physically rearrange it. These changes were previously mentioned on of my blogposts, but it was not very hard to do this. In fact, we were able to do this very quickly in less than 20 minutes. Moreover, after shooting we went back to the location we are thinking on filming scene 2 into make sure it is still usable.
The shooting itself was also rather easy part. We thought that we would need many days to complete this, but we were able to stay on track and shoot this scene in one day. We did not rush to get this done, in fact, we reshot the scenes many many times and shot several variations of the shot so that we would have a lot of footage. Having so much footage of the same scene can be benefitable on the editing part, as we have many shots available if we see anything we do not like on a single one.
Another benefit we currently have is that we started early and will probably be able to finish early too. What I mean is that, hopefully, we can be able to finish the project by week 6. This leaves us a lot of time to edit. The benefit of this is that since we start to edit on that same week, we can be able to meet again to reshoot something if we see we are missing something or if we can improve a certain thing. And, finishing this early can also allow us to have a lot of time to do our CCR.
Overall, it was a very great start. I have worked with my partner before, but because of quarantine we had never being able to physically work together. But, we both knew we need to get this done, so instead of playing around, we were able to be very productive.
