Production (filming day 2: bedroom scene)

 Hello! Yesterday after filming at school we headed over to Elke's friend, Lauren's house to film the bedroom scene. Her room design/decor honestly worked perfectly for what were going for plus Isa got some extra posters for us to put up. It was like trying to put a puzzle together when trying to find the proper placement for each poster but it ended up looking great.

We had a few issues with finding the right angle to shoot at because of the fact that the actresses needed to be facing the window and we also needed to make sure you couldn't see the cinematographer in the mirror behind the bed. Because of this we ended up scraping the idea of Jordyn sitting at a desk and Amelia being behind her laying on a bad. Instead, we had both of us laying on the bed. This way you could still see the room decor and the mirror wouldn't be an issue. Getting rid of the idea of sitting at desk also helped make the look of the shot look less crowded as the chair we had was very bulky and took up a lot of the frame. 

Since this was our first time filming in this space we had to figure out every little detail one step at a time. Even little things like how Isabel and I should be laying down, how we get up, and even when she opens and closes the door had to be discussed and planned out. Honestly, I think this was the hardest part about filming, especially because we were under a very big time crunch as we had to get the scene filmed before the sun went down. After figuring out all the technicalities of filming this scene we ended up having a lot of fun. We were able to play around with the characters and their reactions and even change a few things within the script. For example, we decided that after Amelia exists Jordyn should check her phone and have an audible reaction to the time. 

While filming this scene in particular we ended with a lot of bloopers mainly due to us laughing. This was because we were in such a confined space that Isabel and I would often trip while trying to run out of frame which resulted in some pretty funny moments. Luckily this didn't prevent us from being able to film but did result in a lot of laughs. Overall, we had lots of fun filming and made sure to indulge in some pizza to celebrate wrapping up the filming process.
