Finally Filming! 🎬

This weekend on Sunday, me, my sound designer, and  my cinematographer, along with our actor, started production of Bookworms.

We did have multiple technical issues, among other issues while filming. 

To begin with, our editor was away for a school trip, so we were down one member of our crew. This wasn’t as major an issue as some of the others we encountered; this was an easy fix. Our sound designer was supposed to complete the editor’s log. I ended up completing the list, as our she ended up being tasked for something different.

I had rescheduled filming around two different times, due to our actor’s schedules. Earlier last week, I had spoken to our original actors, and we were all in agreement that it would be better to recast. I had chosen two other actors from our previous film. One of them couldn’t make it to film, so I worked with Sienna (a returning actress) to try and find a replacement… while we were both on the way to our location.

I mentioned that our sound designer was supposed to complete the editor’s log. This was handed over to me, because Nya (sound designer) was going to be our Adrian. 

Overall, filming was a very hectic experience. It was more hectic than last, mainly because we were filming in a public space. We couldn’t get any customers in the frames, which led to more time spent waiting to film than actually filming. 

We did however, get the footage we needed. We had help from Andrew, a fellow film student, as well. Now, we get to edit!
