Filming Blog: How we did film

Today myself as well as two of my group members filmed today. We also brought along two actors, Taliyah and Bobby. Unfortunately, Anishkaneel wasn't able to film today so we had to film without her. Before school ended I checked out a camera and a tripod. After school ended Lauren's mom picked us up and we headed straight to Fort Lauderdale Beach. There was a lot of traffic but fortunately the beach wasn't as packed as it usually is. once we arrived to the beach the first thing we did was look at our storyboard. In our storyboard we said that we would record a shot of myself (good sister), Taliyah (evil sister), and Bobby (husband) having fun at the beach. Before we shot that scene we decided to shoot an establishing shot of the beach. We did this because we might want to add it into our film while editing; so basically its back up footage just in case we decide to change something while editing. After Lauren filmed the establishing shot we started to film the scene where we were all playing around. Jahrvia suggested that we record a hand held tracking shot of the three of us walking alongside the shoreline. In this shot Taliyah (evil sister) will be standing behind us because she envies the relationship. We recorded this scene from multiple angles. Some of the angles were side angles, front angles, and back angles. In this scene we weren't saying anything because music will be playing in the background. Originally the plan was to head back to Lauren's house and film some more scenes but unfortunately something persona came up and we had to end the filming of our movie earlier than we planned. We will finish filming on Saturday morning but we will begin editing our film in class on Friday. Lauren' birthday is also on Saturday so I'm not sure if we will finish filming that morning. If we aren't able to film then we will most likely film on Monday after school and then begin editing our final video.
