Production Blog: Filming Four Scenes

Yesterday, April 4th, was Easter Sunday. You would think that on a day like that, no one would do any work, but that wasn't the case with me. Earlier in the week, I had planned to meet up with my friends Skyler and Paul. They are both acting in my movie, and their scenes were some of the last ones that I needed to get done. Skyler plays the character, Ava, in my film. Paul's role is the character of Noah. On Sunday, I met up with Skyler at around 3 pm. I met up with Paul at around 6 pm on the same day. I did have to make some changes to the locations at which we filmed for all of my scenes. Since other states are having their spring breaks right now, the beach was super packed, which meant I had to switch locations to film with Skyler. We switched from the beach to the roof of a brand new parking garage. I think the switch in locations was actually a very good idea. We filmed using different angles too. It took approximately an hour and a half to film. Then at around 6 pm, I met up with Paul at an outdoor mall, which contained a different parking garage. We used two locations in that mall. We used the top level of the parking garage. We also used the tables and chairs that were outside of the Apple store. Today, I edited the scenes together. It was fairly easy to edit them, I just had to fix the colors and crop the individual clips. There were a few people in the background of the Apple store scenes, so I tried my best to crop them out. I just need to film a few more scenes, and then my filming will be complete. Then, all I will have left to do is edit the names and titles onto the actual film, which shouldn't take too long.
