Filming Outside

 My group and I finished filming at Tekla’s around 2:30. After we finished filming the living room scenes we decided what we were going to do next. Our schedule was altered because of the actor situation, so we had to go with the flow. We decided that we would go to a little park near my house to film. It is in a neighborhood so it was a somewhat quiet area. We all got into two cars because there was six of us, and drove about a mile to the neighborhood park. We parked the car, and met up in the middle of a grassy area. I brought the storyboard and the script, and started to tell everyone where they should stand for the first scene. Tekla filmed because she wasn’t in any of these scenes, and Dominic helped her. I would read the lines to the actors before their take so they would know what to say. We also decided to take each shot twice. This can be helpful in case we lose some footage. However, when we were filming, there was a man blowing leaves. This sound was extremely loud and we couldn’t film there. Because of this, we decided to walk a few blocks south until we couldn’t hear the man anymore.The scenes were being shot effectively. With Tekla filming, and Dominic helping with the angles and movements, and my leadership skills, the scenes were filmed smoothly. The filming process took about an hour, and by that time we were all tired. When we finished, we drove back to Tekla’s to look over the footage. We liked the footage, and will refilm if we feel it is necessary.
