Filming: Retakes and Mistakes


 So in the process of filming we had to adjust the camera a few time because we had problems with the focusing on the takes it took time to get it right. I eventually ended up switching the lenses so we could film properly. Different ideas on how to get our message into the film started to come into mind so I searched around the park an found different things and when things started to come together we had little inconviencs such as when we filmed the hugging scene we were both coming from the same direction at first so I helped alter the scene so we were coming from different ends at different times to show that we crossed paths at the right moment. 

I learned the 360 moved from Idline. while getting some great editing tools and skills to use later on from Rohanna while improving on acting with Nishayla as the main characters in the film. Learning to agree and work on things together as a team while coming to an agreement on things to create the best production was a key tool that I feel we were able to establish. After things were discussed there wasn't much left to do so filming took a half a day but we were able to get it all done with a day dedicated specifically to this.

 Overall filming was a team effort almost everyone once used to film scenes and everyone was in a scene. No matter how big or small we all participated and I made sure that things went as planned considering I missed a gala that I was supposed to a attend to spend it filming all day with them. however, I enjoyed every moment of it and wouldn't change the day for anything the girls taught me something new in acting filming and editing is was all an amazing experience and I would definitely do this again with proper time management. since during this period i was still trying to catch up on the assignments from other classes as well as missing blogs.
