Filming blog Part 2

Hey Bloggers, I got so much more done! I filmed with Alyssa, Paige, and Mikayla. It wasn't supposed to be Mikayla. I had to switch people's roles because the person I originally chose had practice and never told me about it. Getting Mikayla was also difficult because I didn't know if she would be able to. Finding out last minute that I needed a replacement, was the issue. She had to get permission from her mom. The only thing was she would need a ride home. Good thing Paige drives, and it such a good friend, she said she would be able to drive her home.

I decided to make Paige act as my "ex" because I knew it would be easier to be serious. We filmed stuff of us being "cute" and "couplely", for the photo montage. That was really funny to make, we couldn't take our selves seriously. That made it look more genuine though, it looked low-key real. We got some pretty good shots. We then had to film the dialogue from the second section where we say "Always and Forever", we had to get all the giggles out. I didn't want to take up storage on the camera, I wouldn't even know how to fix that.

In that day we wanted to knock out all we could. So I filmed to scene with Alyssa, where I "set her up". I showed Alyssa the script when I first wrote it, so she knew what she had to do. We filmed this at her house, because of convenience. I live in Hollywood, while everyone else lives in the Fort Lauderdale area. So we decided to film there to make it easier on Paige driving us all home. Everything was mostly shot at a medium-low shot so we could both fit in the frame. But when it came to filming me putting something in the tea, just sugar, I told Mikayla to film at a high angle to see everything. When giving to Alyssa I told her, to make it an dutch angle to show that somethings in the film is about to happen.

I had some driving scenes, but I have no car, so I borrowed Paige's car. We went to a random empty parking lot, I got an establishing shot, than began filming the actually scene. I filmed with just me and Alyssa because when it was all of us, it didn't get done efficiently and we couldn't stay out too late.

There's like 3 more scenes that we have to film, but we just decided to do that another day. Also there's some stuff I can film alone, so not much left to get done.

That's it for this one, Bloggers!

XOXO, Laudjah.
