Hello and welcome back!!
Today we started filming!! YAYYY
Although I’m still waiting for my fancy schmancy equipment to come in, which will be here tomorrow. I was able to film the car scene where the car comes flying at Blair (the camera).
So, at 9 I went with my mom to the playground near my house and set up my camera. Originally, I was hoping to film in the actual street, but for obvious reasons I wasn’t able to do that. So, the next best thing was the parking lot at the playground. It looks very eerie at night so I think it really captures that fear factor, I just hope it doesn’t look out of place or anything when I put it all together.
Today also made me realize that I will ABSOLUTELY need to invest in lights because holy shit it was so dark. Even with the high beams on the car and all the settings tweaked, you still couldn’t see anything. You could kind of make out more details of the car once I changed to a better lens, but still, definitely updating my equipment blog and adding lights. I ordered those and they should also come tomorrow. And if everything goes according to plan, which hopefully it does, then I’ll be filming the rest on Sunday, so stay tuned.
Also, I’d like to mention that in the photos I’m gonna show you guys my battery on the camera died so we had limited attempts to how many shots we were able to take. I’ll try to import some so you can see, but it’s possible that the scene doesn’t get used if it looks better with the lights or if I find a way to film in the street for 2 seconds and than run off.
One more thing I want to mention is I got a lot of weird stares, especially from this guy passing by on a bike. To be fair though he was quite nice and asked about what I was filming. This kind of made me realize how cool this project is because like I wrote it and I’m filming, and producing, and editing it. Right now it doesn’t feel very cool, but it sounds pretty cool.
