The Downtowner

Good afternoon my lovely readers, today was the second to last day of filming. It was the filming of the scene right in the middle of the movie. It was the downtowner. It was near the bridge and the water. So, let me tell you all about it. It was a bit of a time crunch, as I had something to get to after filming. The first shot was on a bridge. I was trying to rush Ashleigh and Britanique because I kept worrying that the drawbridge would go up and it would waste so much of the already limited time. The location was perfect for many of the shots that were used. There was a perfect use of aerial shot as well as a wide shot and many other shots. Since it was right near water, Britanique was able to be on the opposite side of the water, and the use of such large shots will be so useful in the movie. In the movie, it is supposed to seem as though Sam and Riley are searching through the entire city. The location did this with ease, and it made filming more fun. As filming had continued, it was Ashleigh, Britanique, and I walked around near the water and using so much space. In the very first scene that was filmed, the space was confined and filming had been such a struggle. By the time that three of us were filming this scene, filming was much easier and was more enjoyable. The last shot filmed was focused on continuity for Sam. In one shot I had to put the ticket away, let my hair down, and put on my jacket. It took a few times but it was important to establish continuity as best as possible for the movie. By the end, the scene was finalized and it became my favorite one to film.
