The Entire Process of Filming

Welcome back my lovely readers, my past few blogs felt short and rushed. So, I decided to go over filming one last time and truly analyze it. Filming was my most important task for production as I played the main character. To break down the group's schedule: 5 scenes, 4 different days. Day 1: Scenes 1, 5, & 4; The Parking Garage & Downtown Las Olas. Day 2: Scene 2; The Beach. Day 3: Scene 3; The Downtowner Bridge. Day 4: Scene 1; The Elevator. Each day had different challenges but the largest challenge was continuity. By this I mean wearing the same outfit and accessories, if my hairstyle changes then it needs to happen on screen. Filming was a hectic process, most of these places were quite crowded so scenes got interrupted. At Las Olas, two families had come up to take a picture with the chair. At the Downtowner Bridge, I thought the bridge might go up and make us stuck on the other side. I want to discuss props since I never really did. The movie had quite a few props, since each clue was on a prop. From the poster, to the seashell, to the ticket, and then to the jewelry box there were a couple. Ashleigh was mostly in charge of props and had brought them with her to filming. At the Downtowner Bridge scene, all three of us were cutting out tickets to be used in the scene. When we got to that shot, Ashleigh and I had to scatter them in and around a trash can. All in all, filming was a great process and taught me a lot. Ashleigh and Britanique paid attention to detail very well, which will make editing much easier.
