Hey readers. I am finally done filming after a very, very long process. We worked from 8pm to 1am to finish up, and I am so grateful to be done. I know that as much as it is a relief to be done filming, I still have a long process of revision, editing, and my whole creative critical reflection (CCR) ahead of me.
Filming Process:
Here is a little pic of me filming
When filming tonight, I cannot begin to explain how many shots I took. My iPhone ran out of storage 3 times during the 5-hour-long process. I overshot a lot with different angles just to ensure I had options while editing. It was a lot more draining than I expected it to be, and by the end of everything, I was exhausted.
Although I ran into some smaller issues too, I ran into one main issue when filming tonight. I have a mirror on my desk that leans on my wall, making it hard to get shots from the other side of the desk. I knew this was going to be an issue I had to deal with, so I had to work around it. I pushed my desk out and went behind it, leaning my mirror on my body as I took the shots I needed from that angle with the mirror light on. When it was time for the mirror light to be turned off, I laid it on the floor beneath me and shot from the other side of the desk (shown in the picture above). Handling the mirror was tricky because the lights were vital in making sure my room wasn't too purple in the beginning scenes, so making adjustments and problem-solving was necessary.
Overall, I'm so proud of the shots I got, especially my ending shot when the lights blow out. Filming was definitely a stressful, tiring process (Olivia and I did have to have a quick sugar/cake break to wake us up), but overall it is rewarding. I'm nervous but excited to soon start the editing process and can't wait to see my opening all put together.
