The Rise and Fall of Production

 The Good News!

Sofia and Madison are back from STN! Our whole team is back, the equipment is here, and we are ready to get rocking on rolling to get back on track with our filming! 

 The Bad News!

Madison is sick, our lead actor can't film, and I can't film this weekend. Making us behind... AGAIN!

So What?

Sofia, Kenna, and I found a day and place we could film the scene with Aurora in her room after school. Sofia's house was perfect since her room had a window facing the street the same way my neighbor's house does. The plan for when we film at my house has Atticus looking longingly at his neighbor's house, which is Aurora! So filming in a different house in the perfect placement was, well, perfect! 

Sofia checked out a camera, we agreed at a time to meet up, gathered good props, and when the time came, met up and filmed! 

You don't want to read me yap about the process, you wanna see it! So here's our little vlog of creating the set of Aurora's room!

The story of this scene is simply Aurora getting ready to go out with her boyfriend Kai. Alongside that, we also filmed Auora's (my) reaction to Kai almost hitting Atticus with his car and leaving her room. 

We filmed multiple shots of me brushing my hair and putting my make-up on. Alongside that, we put some focus on the props we placed around to represent Aurora since she is a photographer who loves, and misses, her friends. We got a shot that would be Atticus's view of Aurora. Finally, we filmed Aurora seeing the commotion between Kai and Atticus, and running out to apologize and leave with Kai.

Here's some cool photos and videos of us filming!

This was a very successful session, but we still have a long way to go and not much time left. We plan on using the entirety of next week after school to film all that we need to! In the meantime, I'll start editing the clips we have as well as compile some foley. (subtle foreshadowing of the next blog posts)
