Filming Blog: First Filming Day

    I was able to start filming Corey on Saturday, December 10th. Corey came over to my house to start filming around 1:30 in the afternoon. I finished my filming session of Corey for that day at around 4:00. The filming session took about 2 hours, with a 30 minute break in between. Out of the 12 scenes that we drafted on the storyboard, I was able to film about 6 out of 12 scenes. I filmed in total, about 53 scenes during that session. I filmed the same scene on average, 3-5 times. I would film the same scenes using different angles, movement, and shots. For example, for one scene, I did a tracking shot of Corey walking into his bedroom. Then proceeding to lay down. For that exact scene I filmed him, except I filmed him walking into the room, and laying down on the bed as two different scenes. There were a couple of bloopers, like for instance, I'd be filming Corey and randomly we'd start laughing. One thing I found easy was filming the scene, although it did require a great amount of effort. One thing I found challenging though, was replicating the scenes from the storyboard onto film. Overall, I found the little filming experience, to be challenging, but wholesome and enjoying. During the filming session, I filmed Corey in four different locations. First location, was my parents bedroom where I filmed him singing the Intro and the first half of the Chorus of the song. Second location was my bedroom, where I filmed him singing the second half of the Chorus. Third location was outside on the front doorstep of my house, where I also filmed him singing the second half of the chorus. Lastly, I filmed him in the middle of the cul-de-sac of my neighborhood singing Verse 1 of the song.
