Hey there blog! Today we finally wrapped up shooting all our scenes for our film opening! (Yayyy) It was honestly really fun and enjoyable. Surprisingly, Jordan’s a really good actor. I think we all enjoyed filming and even though we went through some problems, I liked our result :)
Day one
The first problem we ran into was the mics. I clipped them onto Jordan and Marissa’s back but they kept sounding muffled for some odd reason. So we spent 45 minutes trying to figure it out… Eventually, we fixed the problem, or I guess the problem fixed itself because the mic’s started working pretty well! I don’t know what made them start working but it was definitely a relief.
Anyways, we filmed all of our daylight scenes on Saturday, all the way up until Jordan fell down. Everyone brought the props, wore the right clothes, and I didn’t forget the filming equipment so things went really smoothly! During some tracking shots I had some trouble keeping up with their walking pace. I genuinely felt like I was going to fall over any second. But, I powered through!! We got some pretty good shots:
Day two
Today, we filmed at night time! (When Benji wakes up from hitting his head) And it was super fun. If you disregard the mosquitoes..
Marissa did her SFX makeup and it looked awesome! She also has fangs on to pull the vampire act off.
One of my favorite parts about shooting this day was the lighting. We wanted to add a cool blue aspect to show the shift from a vibrant and warm aspect (joyful) to a seemingly unforgiving and mysterious aspect. We put a filter on our light and it made a really nice effect. We did have some issues when trying to get the lighting right because we didn’t want it to be too blue, so we took pretty long on a lot of shots.
This is my favourite one with the blue :)
Overall, filming was an excellent experience! Our issues were minor and were so glad we didn’t run into any major problems. Marissa and I were really proud of our end product and even Jordan liked it! Tomorrow, I start editing and making the magic happen
