Today, Thursday 18th was our first official day of filming. We actually ended up changing our park location to a different park. The park is called Hamptons Park. We changed it because when we visited our original location we realized it did not have enough trees and nature to act as a forest. So we switched to a more suitable location. I picked Kassandra up, from her house and we drove to the park. At the park we ran into some difficulties. First we basically filmed in the parking lot. It was not very spacious and we had to continuously park and reverse. This took a lot of time. Another issue was camera movement. In order to get different shots of the same dialogue, we recorded the entire scene from different angles. Since we don’t have professional nor proper filming equipment, a lot of our mechanisms were makeshift. Our camera was mostly leaning on different internal parts of the car. This caused the camera to be shaky and move whenever we would start to drive. We prevented this problem by adjusting the camera or holding it, whenever this happened. I also realized all the preparations we did still was not enough to bulletproof plan our filming day. We had all the equipment but plans still ended up changing in the end. They weren’t major changes but we did have to adjust to the area and adjust to the issues that came along with it. I would say it was a very productive day.
