Filming: Almost There

Today after school my teammate, Jordyn, and I went to her house to film. Unfortunately, no takes that will go into the movie were recorded. I was told to go home by my mother due to urgent family issues. However, our time this afternoon was not unproductive. We still were able to take some shots that were beneficial to our film. With the shots we measured angles, fixed lighting, and reset some camera settings. 
We first stared with our first scene. We had decided to go in chronological order of scenes because we had known that we were only testing the lighting, angles, acoustics, camera settings, etc. to start with. Our first scene was the most difficult out of all of the scenes we filmed. This was the result of many specific, explicit details. Some include the lighting which was difficult to get because the location we’ve determined for that scene had hard-to-adjust lighting, so we had to adjust it ourselves. Another aspect was the acoustics were much too loud for a scene that was supposed to be quiet. This is a predicament that we are still working through. However, our most likely solution will be to lay down a few rugs and/or blankets on the floor. This will soften the sound and muffle the acoustics. The last predicament is the lack of space. This will prevent us from efficiently moving around to get the correct angles, but we’re already thinking of way to move around the tight squeezes.
