Shooting Day 2 and 3

As spring break approaches, this was the last day we could film so we had to stay focused and get done what we needed. By this point we scheduled to film scene 3 on Saturday and scene 2 on Sunday. Again, as spring break was approaching, we both had different schedules, therefore we had to get everything done in these two days so that we could use the rest of spring break to finish up editing.

On Saturday we needed to film scene 2. We already had things that we previously filmed on the first day to get ahead. So, this day was not much of a hard day. And the scene was inside the house so we did not have any other variables that could affect the filming. So we just followed the storyboard and got done the whole scene. 

Sunday was more of a difficult day. On this day we had to film Scene 2, which was outside, and it required us both to talk. Like any other day we got to my house to firstly plan out the scene and make sure the location was available. After that we went to the location. One of the first things we noticed that was a little annoying: the Florida heat. For some reason that day was just way hotter than the entire week. But this was not a big thing that actually affected the project whatsoever.

Now, one of the big issues that actually changed our plans was the change in casting. Since me and my partner were not able to have a third person, then we had to rely much more in tripods for scenes where we both appeared in. And, it is also the fact that none of us actually like acting or are even good at it. So it was very time consuming all the bloopers, laughter, and mistakes that would randomly occur as we have no experience in acting. So at that time after having so many do-overs and bloopers we were racing the sun... and our battery. Since it was getting late, the sun was going down, and since we were outside, the natural lightning of the sun was a big part. And to make things worse, as we were not planning on taking that long, the phone we were using as a camera was running out of battery, and even forgot about bringing a charger. At the end, we rushed the filming, no time for mistakes and thankfully got everything done at a miraculous 5% battery.
