SO, after getting some coffee, we headed over to Gator Run Park. Thankfully, there was no one at the pavilion I wanted to use, which meant the perfect filming location. We then ran through the script, I went over the blocking and some of the plot of the story so my friends could get a better idea of the piece, and we got to work.
I pretty much filmed in chronological order and tried to closely follow my storyboard. I won’t lie, as Sophia was reading her lined, we all agreed it was kinda cringey not gonna lie. As a result, we edited some of her lines in order to fix that.
(The bottom is the original script while the top is the revised script).
I brought the makeshift tripod and microphones, but we actually didn’t use or need them! Thankfully it wasn’t a very windy day, and since I wanted to get some establishing shots of the girls at the bench, I didn’t want to have to worry about using a mic with a cord.
Other than the family with three screaming kids playing in the park right next to the bench that we had to ask to move so their noise wasn’t a part of the video, filming went very well! I’m very happy I picked Miranda and Sophia to help me out. Miranda had some super helpful advice that helped me overcome a big obstacle I had and Sophia has some prior film knowledge so she had some cool ideas for angles in which I could film. Not to mention, their acting skills are just what I wanted and we all click very well together, so it was a ton of fun.
Here are a few sneak peeks!!
Now to start editing. Wish me luck!
See you at the next post <3
