Production Blog: Final Filming Day

     I, Chelsey, and Corey were able to follow through with our final filming day. We filmed after school, on Friday, December 16. There was a slight setback, because the park where I was going to originally film them, Caporella Park, was closed, due to construction reasons. Corey had suggested that we instead go to North Andrews Neighborhood Park. It is about 1-2 miles from Caporella Park, so everyone agreed to it. Another slight setback, for whatever reason, the main road that led to the park, was completely shut down by county police. As well as any intersection within a two-mile circumference. That delayed me about a couple minutes, same with Corey and Chelsey. I did not bring many props other than my cellphone to film Corey and Chelsey, and some water bottles to keep us hydrated. Corey originally was supposed to bring a tripod to help me film but was unable to find it. In total, I filmed about 5 scenes of Corey and Chelsey. It took about 30 minutes more or less, to film those shots. Some scenes, I filmed twice or three times, just to capture the scene from different angles, and close-ups. That will ultimately give some diversity to the scenes when it's time to choose and edit them. The filming session was also Chelsey's first time being filmed for this project. Corey and I had tried multiple times in the past to film with her but were unable to. Either because she had family things going on, cheerleading, or her mother simply wouldn't let her. Regardless, Corey, especially her were naturals in front of the camera. They made things incredibly easy for me, as the cameraman. I can wait to see how the final project turns out!
