So today was my first day of shooting. Did not go as plan, actually quite tragic. The first scene takes place within a shower. So trying to set up my camera within the shower has not been simple to say the very least. I had to change every single actor as my pool has become tight with the conditions that we find ourselves in. I currently have Sean Murphy as my main character, the shot was very fun to do, as he had to be standing in just underwear for it. It was quite the odd sight from an outside perspective. The problem was lighting. My Nikon D780 is quite good with low lighting, but you need some sort of light for the lens to be able to focus correctly. With the water running and an oddly placed phone flashlight I somehow managed to to get the shot that I needed. A quick 30 Second clip that combined with audio would begin the synopsis of the film. I wanted to the audience to get a quick view of the problem this teen is expiricing, and I thought what better way to do it.
After 10 tries I got the ideal shot and things were looking up. I was however supposed to get more shots done today alongside Juliana, but she was not able to make it to the filming location due to the quarantine. As public parks have closed, I had to rearrange the scenes, and change the setting obviously. The scenes where the couple speak about their problems and how one of them is gay was going to take place in Markham Park. Now it'll take place in the lake by my house.
Julie should be able to do some filming tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated.
XOXO Media Nerd.
