What Went Down While Filming

 As stated in the previous blog, filming was done on Saturday, 3/3/2024. The filming once again occurred at Corvelest's house. I was able to finish filming the dialogue scene. Which was between the protagonist (Teo) and antagonist (Corvelest) characters. I was able to get up until right before the pre-climax scene. Filming that pre-climax was scene took a while. I basically filmed the protagonist walking into the kitchen and grabbing a beverage for the antagonist. However, I had to shoot him doing that from a variety of angles, and lighting. In terms of lighting, the first time the lighting from the ceiling was brighter. I shot the same scene again but in darker lighting. The ceiling lights have lights that can adjust so I played around with a bit. I filmed the same scene a third time and it was the darkest one this time. Also, when the protagonist goes to open the fridge, I filmed from an angle where the camera is above the protagonist and he's on the right side of the screen. I was actually sitting on the counter-top of Corvelest's kitchen when I filmed from that angle. When I filmed the scene again, this time I did not hold the cellphone that was used to record. Instead, I used the tripod borrowed from Corey, and I set it on top of a bowl. The camera was rolling for about 3 minutes. It took Teo about 4 tries to execute the scene perfectly. Later when I'm editing the film, I will have to significantly cut out most of the film. So that it can just show the part where Teo got it right. While filming I debated facing the screen of the cell phone used to film. However, I kept the screen facing away. Due to a specific advice I received that if you face the cell phone screen towards the actor will likely now look directly at the camera. But rather at themselves being recorded on the screen.
