Hi guys!! We FINALLY have footage to show. Today we filmed the scene between Cameron and her mom (starts on page 4 of the script.) **NOTE: Cameron was originally written to be a guy so many of the directions use he/him pronouns when referring to the character.
Today honestly went really well, it took us an hour and a half to get ready and film everything we needed to get. I learned my lesson from last year and shot each take at least 3 times. The overall creative process was very productive as the actors were well informed on their characters current situation, feelings, and motivations to carry them through the scene. Audrey and I were able to effectively communicate with each other and with the actors to get exactly what we wanted out of each take.
Our main concern was getting the right angles for each shot to make the overall film look as seamless as possible and so editing wouldn't be a TOTAL pain. This is why it was really important to me to film every shot at least 3 times and I often had our actresses repeat their previous line before getting a new shot.
Overall, I'm so happy we are finally almost done with filming (only 2 days left yay) especially because it was definitely a big weight and Audrey and I's shoulders with all the casting and scheduling issues but yay we're here and we can almost see the finish line!
