Filming as a group

    Yesterday we started to film our movie. We all met up at my house at about 10:30 in the morning. We were going to be 6 people but one person didn't show up. We had to reschedule the role last minute to one of our other friends. This set us back a few hours. Our friend came over and we started filming the scenes we needed inside of my apartment. We set up the props and went over what we needed to do. Each of the actors went over their lines to make sure they knew them. We referred back to our storyboard to see which angles and movements we needed to use. We shot everything in order so that we knew how the storyline would work.

   We decided to shoot each scene at least 2 times. We wanted to make sure we had something we could work with. We wanted to think ahead in case we later noticed a flaw or if we didn't like something in the clip. This will reduce the risk of having to reshoot these scenes. We especially wanted to limit the reshooting risk since for these scenes we needed a group of people. We don't want to use other people's time if we really don't need to. We also tried different angles and movements from what we originally decided on. We realized that certain scenes could be filmed from a better angle and we wanted different options. The filming process in my apartment took about 2 hours because at first we couldn't take it seriously and kept laughing. After a while, the actors became more comfortable and it went better. Everyone worked well together to get the job done.
